A cat's primary diet should be meat-based, not vegetable. Most cats don't like fruit, and if she's a stray, she's probably eating the vegetables just because she's hungry. While brand name pet foods are usually less expensive, they are also the equivalent of McDonald's every day. It's okay for pets every once in a while, and if that's what you can afford, so be it. The best foods for pets are all natural ones -- just as for people food, take the time to read the label on pet foods..you'd be surprised!
