Let me throw  out a question here....I spent the better half of an hour
reading labels on all brands of canned cat food at the store the other
day...I've determined that if the first 3 ingrediants are not some sort of
grain(wheat flour, cornmeal,soy flour,dried beet pulp, etc.)and they are
some sort of real animal(beef, chicken, pork, fish)then I will purchase
them.
My question is if the first item in the ingrediants is.."water sufficient
for processing"...what does that mean?
And how good can it be for your cat?

If I am correct the amount of water need for processing .  More in likely
just filtered tap water

It means they are being honest.  Canned food is 70 to 75 percent water.
If the ingredients are listed in descending order, water should be the
first.  The water is one of the reasons that canned food is better for
urinary health than dry food.
