dry vs wet food

[icedtea]

hi what do you feed your cats?? dry or wet food, or both, or mainly wet, or mainly dry??

Dry 99% of the time.
2-3 times a week they get small portions of wet food.

My little fur babies are spoiled. When we eat lunch they get a small portion of can cat food the rest of time dry.

my 2 kittens get mostly wet food, and they are very spoiled and get high quality vet kitten food. we give them dry food as a snack, though. they get water ad kitten milk, too.

Dry food most of the time. I'll give a can maybe twice a week.

Dry. He may get wet food once a week or so but 3/4 of the time he gets dry!

Purely dry food.

Mostly dry, but Binky likes wet maybe 5 times a week. Depends on his mood. Archy is a cruncher!

Mine get dry all the time. That's just because whenever Josie eats anything besides dry, her poop gets all wierd and she scoots her butt *more than normal* . . . long story.

I have been sneaking Brodie a dab of wet food every day here lately though . . . just a dab . . . for his hairball problem.

Ours only get dry food.

I've been reading more and more about how canned food is better for cats - cats evolved eating meat, not corn and other grain-based fillers that are a large part of dry cat foods. Dogs are OK with grains, but cats are true carnivores and grains are not a normal part of their diet. I personally believe the excess carbs in grain based cat foods is a contributing factor in the rise of obesity in housecats.

Most people feed dry because it is more convenient. It is not necessarily better for our cats, and in fact could be worse. However, I am not an animal scientist and am only going by a few (convincing) articles I have read.

I do feed dry, but supplement with canned. If my Abby would eat canned (she refuses it) I'd prefer to not feed any dry at all.

But wet food contains just as many grain products, as well. The only real difference between wet and dry is... well, wet contains more water lol
