This is actually happening to one of our cats, and we've been feeding them with Orijen / Acana since day 1 (10 years ago). I do think the levels of taurine and CARNITINE are too low in dried and canned food since 1960s. Carnitine deficiency causes DCM, and skeletal/muscular pain, etc, which is happening to my cat. Carnitine patent to be added to non-human animal food was approved in the 90s, because of that reason. Still, the amounts are too low to just pass the international standard. I hope you can consider this and improve the amounts of L-carnitine in your food, especially the senior one. We would be happy clients, not needing further medical supplementation with a premium cat food that seems to be quality food. Thank YOU
