I talked w/Dr. Lee about wet or dry cat food just yesterday because of Puddy and her CRF. He said that he attended a seminar that taught if you're just starting a kitten on solids, to give it canned and a little bit of dry for teeth cleaning. But if you have cats and they've been raised on dry, keep it that way. He also said that diabetic cats and cats w/bladder problems should not have dry food, at least this is what was taught in the seminar. He said that research has shown that outdoor cats just do not have kidney problems. They just don't. The reasoning behind this is that cats by nature should be outdoors, that it's too stressful for them to be indoors and this causes kidney problems. He said "You'd think it would be the other way around. There are so many dangers outdoors for cats but it's their natural environment." I told him "Well, there's no way I'm letting my cats out" and he said "Oh, of course not. I'm just telling you what the seminar taught". So I don't know whether this would have anything to do w/the pancreas as well, since they're sort of interrelated. Just a thought.......
