Hi Nancy
regarding cats foods. As long as you are buying a middle of the range cat food brand your cat should be getting all the nutrients required for good health. it is only the cheaper ones like Go cat which are high in ash and so not that great.

As for his behavior, well only you can really say if his behavior changes significantly enough for you to think there is a problem. i say this as every cats behavior is different and so if one cats plays a lot and another doesn't it doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong with that cat. but if a cats behavior changes and you the owner notice this change then yes there may be a problem.

nancy the only way to know for sure if your cat is healthy or not is to take them to a vets for a check up. yes it will cost but what price peace of mind or the health of your cat. i love my cats dearly too and i loved my last cat so much too and when the end of her life came we did everything we could for her which cost us a lot. But as i say what price love, it is the choice we make.

if you are really worried then take him to the vets to at the very least put your own mind at rest, your cat will pick up on your anxieties and that could make things worse.

best wishes Kate
