You've got mine. Dryfood is way better than soft canned food. It prevents placque. As an example: My dearest darling Venus and her sister Roberta were cats I got from someone else. She fed both cats wet canned food three meals a day. When I took the cats, they had placque on their teeth thicker than their teeth! They both needed an intense dental clean-up under full anasthetic. All twelve of my cats right now get nothing but dry food, and it sure benefits their teeth. The only soft things they get to eat is a bit of liverwurst or cheese every now and then. When they got their teeth cleaned, Venus almost didn't come out of the anasthetic afterwards, and I sure don't ever want to go through such a horrifyingly scaring experience again. So... feed your cat dryfood. Amen.
Purrs,
Fritti and his gang.
