OK Iams is the best out of all the ones you list.
Let me find the books on Amazon for you - give me till the morning.... we're a day behind you here and are still dealing with the holiday here. Long weekend and all that jazz!
As for making it yourself - there is NO NEED to touch organs or bones! Chicken, beef, turkey - all can be bought cheaply in bulk for your pet with no bones or organs. A good vitamin supplement and you're set. Just let me find the books for you first.
As for that little scooch climbing your leg while cooking - perfectly natural! Painful, but natural and normal. Get used to washing your hands a lot while cooking ..... just pick him off you and put him on the floor. Feel free to give him a little hissssss and a gentle shove once he's on the floor too. That's cat talk for get the fuck off my leg and out of my way little man!
You can mix the milk in with their food, set a small dish along side or feed it in a small saucer in between meals. They need milk for nearly the first year of life. Not as much as kittens but they grow for nearly two full years! The mother would naturally feed them for 16 weeks even though she has them on meat so let them get those vital nutrients that come with milk as long as they can tolerate it internally. Cats are lactose intolerant to cow's milk so please don't substitute that for the KMR! You can make them very sick with cow's milk. They can only have cat's milk or cat milk replacer.
And as far as food that is for dogs OR cats - you're right! That is not good! They have vastly different nutritional needs and cats have a much higher metabolism and need more protein than dogs do.
