Default Do cats eat more in winter?

I completely agree with you, Lori, wet food is the way to go. Especially
for boycats who can get terribly blockages in their penises from eating dry
food as a main diet.
As I never had Boyfie from a kitten, I am fairly sure he always had dry from
his previous owners as he loves it so much. So because he does, he gets a
sprinkle of it at bedtime and has his main meals of wet food.
I'd rather his teeth decayed than he got blocked and there is evidence to
suggest that dry food contributes to kidney failure as the cats simply don't
drink enough and the high protein it contains is also dangerous for the
kidneys as cats get older.
At his last vet check in June his teeth were fine.

Mine have never had problems with their teeth - I think that has more to
do with the luck of the genetic draw than what food they eat.
