It's actually not that much more expensive to feed your cat human food.
For example a can of cat food in my grocery store is 49 cents. The same sized can of tuna is 99 cents.
I have never met a cat that didn't like Tuna.
Here's an interesting link to the pet food industry...

You may be disturbed, as I was, to find that you may be feeding your pet road kill, euthanized dogs, and chicken feet, even if you are spending $40 a bag on "premium" food.
The pet food industry has many dark secrets hidden behind the colorful bags and sentimental slogans. Most pet food companies are actually garbage bins for other companies owned by huge corporations. In those kibbles there's a truth that's not so appetizing.
To me, the biggest injustice is that there are pet owners out there who think they're doing the best for their dogs. I found out I was feeding my dog from one of the worst companies out there. You owe it to yourself and your animals to find out what you're really feeding them.

Keep telling yourselves that your pet is being well fed. And yes, I am selling a bridge in Brooklyn if anyone is interested.

Don't be duped by huge corporations.
BTW, there is no quality control, no testing, no government standards for pet food.
