None of these dried foods are available in NZ, it seems difficult to find dried food with very high levels of protein, why do they all seem to hover round 50% or less?

Actually 50% protein is high protein content (assuming meats as primary ingredients, so it is complete protein). Look at the table of protein in meats on this page: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat"]Meat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:FoodMeat.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ae/FoodMeat.jpg/220px-FoodMeat.jpg"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/a/ae/FoodMeat.jpg/220px-FoodMeat.jpg[/ame]. Steak is only like 25% protein (25/110g). You get higher percentages in the dry due to lack of moisture, but the absolutest highest protein dry I have found is 55%. Cheaper drys are often only 30-35% protein, and that protein may be from corn and so actually effectively even lower.
Chester has been on the RC Kitten 36 and he gets runny poos every few days, with a gurgly stomach or gas. Is this "normal" for kittens or, is it this biscuit as a few others have noticed. He also eats half a pouch of whiskas and wet food like fresh kangaroo mince.
