Premium Cat Food, the correct choice.

Generally premium cat food is more densely packed with nutrients and calories than regular, or low cost brands that your cat can often be satisfied with a smaller serving (your cat will eat as much, or as little, as she or he needs to get sufficient nutrients). Your cat will find these smaller servings easier to digest, and will be less likely to put on excess weight.

Many owners report that the condition of their cat's coat has improved considerably, become glossier/silkier, after making the switch to premium cat food from low cost brands.

Premium cat food manufactures seem to be more consistent with their formulas, and change their ingredients far less often than regular brands.

Dye is not used to a great extent in quality cat food (some brands contain none), this will be important to you if your cat vomits as dye makes vomit difficult to clean. Coloring dyes are added to the cheaper brands to make the food look more appealing.

Dry premium food has become extremely popular with working owners due to its convenience. A dish of dry cat food can be safely left out all day, and many cats live a healthy life on dry cat food alone. Stools are firmer making the job of cleaning the litter tray easier.

Dry cat food contains significantly less moisture than canned cat food, therefore your cat should always have adequate fresh water available.

The term light (lite), when used for pet foods, is regulated by law so these foods have reduced fat and calories and increased fiber compared to regular adult cat foods. They are particularly appropriate for weight loss and can be fed to more sedentary cats who require fewer calories.

Reduced calorie or less active foods have less calories and fat than regular adult premium food but more calories than light foods. They also have much less fiber than light foods. As they contain more calories than light foods they are more suitable to maintain the weight of less active cats than for weight loss in cats that are already overweight.
