dry vs wet food

[Tora Oni]

On Sunday we give both wet food and the rest of the week its dry food. They adore wet food.

or i can feed them sience diet, thats around the place

I don't really like the ingredients in Science Diet wet food, or the dry. They claim to be "premium", but are far from it. Iams foods are made by Procter & Gamble, a company which makes everything from dish soap to toothpaste. Science Diet is made by Colgate - which makes toothpaste and other dental products. They are big companies that are more concerned with making money than putting great ingredients in to their pet food. What other brands of cat food are sold at pet stores around you? There are MANY inexpensive, high quality cat foods.

Dry food, and a couple of times a week they get to share a bag of shrimp and a can of tuna (not a the same time).

My 2 cats are free-fed dry kibble, their dish is always full.
They used to eat raw food every night for dinner but I'm going on a budget so that will probably only happen once a week or so. Instead they will be splitting a can of food in the evening, possibly every other evening. Depends on how they adjust to no raw at night time. If they aren't eating as much they will get canned every night but if their weight stays in a healthy range it will probably be every other night.

Mine get only dry. I'm not a fan of canned food.

Both of mine get a small spoonful of wet food twice a day. They also get some dry food in the morning and at night.

Dry 'cereal' for breakfast and a little left out all day, with 'soup' and dry for dinner.

I put 2-1/2 cans of wet in the blender with water and chop for a few seconds, then divide into 12 little dishes for 12 little cats. They seem to like it best that way. I mix the other 1/2 can with dry for the neighbors' 2 cats that always come for dinner.

With all of these mouths to feed, I use Wal-Mart's Special Kitty for both wet & dry.

That will NEVER happen in my household. The pups would eat it before Double-Oh would have a chance!

Thats why I feed my cats on the counter. lol
Nanook & Raustyk are good, they won't touch the cats food but I can not get Kaige to leave it alone for the life of me.

My cats are indoor/outdoor cats so they get a lot of exercise and also experience the elements of the weather so I like them to have food when ever they want it.
If they were indoors only I would probably limit their food.

LOL i've had the same problem with Roscoe - he'd eat the cats' dry food before his own! I ended up putting a baby gate up in one of our spare bedrooms (now called the cats' room!) so he couldn't get in. I had to put the gate about an inch or so above the ground, so the cats can crawl under it but it seems to be too high for Roscoe to jump over (realistically he could plow right through it, but he doesn't seem to know that ) It works really well - although there for a while I must have had it up too high, and I caught him sliding under the gate

Since Marshmallow was diagnosed with crystals it's dry food only.

My guys eat dry, unless Binky meows for wet; he loves it and is pretty skinny, so I give it to him.

See I don't want to do that either though because I don't want him to think he can jump on the table or counters =/

That's actually a really good idea!
