I can't give specific advice regarding maine coons, as we only got our first at christmas and 2 more this week, but I have had cats all my adult life so this is a general advice. All our animals, dogs, moggies and coonies are on Hills Science plan, though we are about to see whether weaning the cats over on Royal Canin maine coon kibble agrees with them. However the HSP has always been excellent and caused no problems with any of them [they just don't have a large kibble version for large jawed coonies]. We also give them tuna [tins in spring water] and good quality cat meat as a treat a couple of times a week which they all enjoy [ok, the dogs get dog meat ;-) ]
I know there are many that recommend RAW feeding, but it really isn't a route I want to go down when the animals are so obviously happy and healthy on kibble diets, but I can see an argument for it.
However, I guess the main bit of advice is to make sure it is the food causing him problems and not an underlying problem [or a change in type needed, to a senior food perhaps] and if you do change, introduce it gently, mixed with current food initially to reduce the risk of any tummy upsets.
The only experience I have had with JW food was we were given a bag with one of the dogs as part of some promotion, and even a vacuum cleaner of a jack russell wasn't particularly fond of it, but like anything, its horses for courses.
Good luck and I hope Mitch feels better, or rather 'relieved' soon!
