Does anyone leave dry food out all the time? I never did that with my first cat, but I do now. All they get is dry food, actually, and there is a full bowl for them all the times.

The coolest thing about is they don't overeat. Each one of them if the right weight for their frame. Flora is the lightest at about 6 pounds and Vashti is the heaviest at about 12 pounds.

And while they still might wake me up occasion (ie: My boy Ender turns in his sleep so that his rear feet often end up in my face and he kicks me while he's dreaming), they don't require me to get up a certain hour everyday for food. In fact, they're often more lazy than I am, not even opening an eye until they hear the "click" of the alarm clock being turned off, a sure sign that the humans are going to actually get out of bed.

The only down side to an all dry food diet is that they suck down water like it were booze and they all pee like racehorses. Yuck.
