There are many popular commercial pet foods that list 'chicken meal' as an ingredient.

This is because you do not have cooking facilities in your room and are expected to eat most of your meals in the residence cafeterias and food service outlets.

Almost never. Except for children and adults who have immune system problems, getting chicken pox confers life-long immunity. Now, the minute I say never, someone will come up with a story about how he or one of his family got it twice. While this is a possibility, it is extremely rare. Most of the time, these stories turn out that the original chicken pox "infection" was a rash that was mistaken for chicken pox.

If possible switch the food gradually, over a period of a week or so. Start with a mixture of 25% Fromm and 75% of your old food and feed that for two or three days, then step it up to 50%-50%, and finally end up with a combo of 75% Fromm, 25% old food. If you don't detect any changes in your cats' digestion over the week's time, you can start feeding Fromm exclusively.
