I free feed as well. There is always dry food available. They get purina one and max cat mixed as a staple. Between 5:00-6:00 am Vixen starts atalkin and that means it's time for wet. They WILL NOT eat pate of any kind. There are very feed chucks or flakes they will eat either. But they demand it. So it's a teaspoon each(I know that doesn't sound like much but they get that 4-6 times a day) of fancy feast grilled chicken feast, grilled tuna feast, flaked turkey and giblets also fancy feast or iams select bites salmon, chicken or beef. They usually eat about 3x85g cans a day in total with their dry and if I would have to estimate they eat about 1 cup of dry a day between the 2 of them.
