Feline Cat

Is it ok to feed a non Feline CD Cat Feline CD food?
My one kitty eats Hill’s Feline CD for urinary crystals, and my other kitty absolutely love it I can’t keep her away from his bowl. Is it ok to let her have it as her primary diet?
I am really surprised at these answers. Methionine is added to the c/d food to acidify the urine and prevent the formation of urinary crystals which form when the urine is too alkaline.
It really seems to me to be contraindicated for a cat with a normal pH. If the cat’s urine gets on the overly acidic side there is a danger of developing stones in the bladder and those have to be removed surgically.
Urine pH can be difficult to control – 6.5 (slightly acidic) is the normal, healthy reading for a cat. It’s a question of the proper balance.
The over-abundance of carbohydrate in ANY dry food causes the urine to become alkaline. I think most vets nowadays should be aware of this.
