I wouldn't stress too much about the food EP. All this choice is just another way of getting us to spend more money - when I was growing up the cats got what they were given, whatever age they were. If Dio's 7 months then he'd be fine on adult cat food and as long as they actually eat it I'd be very sceptical about all the different types.

Ozzy is a grazer and fussy!

I agree with SK.
At 7 months, Dio is closer to cat than kitten. I would finish the kitten food then just get the 1+ year food.
Lasya is 8 and sometimes she gets senior food, sometimes 1+ or even kitten, when my friends kitten got killed by a car... I think quality is more important...
I looked at expensive food compared to Aldi and I swear it is made in the same place: same ingredients as the posh Sheba for those pate things!

Aldi dry, Go Kat, Tescos and Iams (dry food) are all pretty much the same I think as they were the ones I was told not to feed Pepper as she has tendency towards cystitis.
Pepper is fussy but price doesn't come into it. She has turned her nose up some of the 'quality' cat food and then proceeded to munch her way through Aldi wet food quite happily (for about half the box - then will give up!) She's much happier on a 2-mouse a day diet!

I've always had Hill's dry and I get the best I can for the wet - Sainsbury's Delicious is good because it actually looks like fish or chicken rather than the odd lumps in Sheba, plus it's in cans so more recyclable than mixed-material pouches. But it's not cheap (over £1 per day) and I can't always get it so they have other stuff too.

Both cats are sick periodically on food and then refuse to eat it. I suspect Prim’s issue is living a life of terror + grass and Mindy’s is too much rich offal and feathers but the cat food gets blamed. We were getting encore tins for Mindy and pate for Prim but both are annoyingly out of stock

What our cats seem to like eating: food
Admittedly we are still on the same brand as cats protection gave them but essentially they are chonky sods. They eat any flavour in jelly or gravy.
Ours are on purina pro plan dry and felix wet. I was going to go to a cheaper dry food but Boba seems to show his nerves physically more than Bib so I'm changing nothing really til I'm 100 percent sure they are settled and happy. By which time I probably will have hit can't be bothered go do the battle stage.
Occasionally Google takes me to some pampered pet corner where I get bad mum guilt from the cat food snobs then I just get over myself and remind myself they're cats and we never made this much fuss back in the day.
