Err. Why? Do you know how many people *struggle* to get their cats on wet
food and off of dry? It's just plain healthier to be on wet.

Why do you want her to eat dry food?

Have to chime in and say, why would you ? My cat always wanted dry and I am
lucky if can get him to eat 1 pouch of wet a week. I wish he wouldnt want to
eat that junk food all the time, but he really really doesnt like wet food
(he will lick the gravy off and leave the meat).
Dry food can cause urinary infections, is just scraped up junk and normally
stretched with unnessecary carbs, which will cause obesity and sluggishness.
(yes, my cat also doesnt like any of the expensive dry foods......)
If it is for convenience of feeding, get the one-feed-pouches. Then you dont
have to keep smelly cat-cans in the fridge.

Er, be happy your cat eats wet food.

It may actually be better for her.

i.e: less carbs and more moisture than dry.

It seems to be the consensus that wet food is in fact better than dry,
for a number of reasons.

Don't fight it.. embrace it! =)

You are fortunate. Good quality canned food is much better for your cat
than dry food. Dry food has far too many carbs and fillers. Just make sure
it is *good* quality such as Wellness, Felidae, or Innova -- not supermarket
fare.

but all the wet foods are so soft......... my cat don`t get any chance
to chew anything....
i thought by giving my cat dry food and wet food both......... i can
make its diet more balanced and appropriate.....one more thing......
wet foods don`t have vegetable in them....... where as whiskas dry food
(chicken and vegetable combined) ..... will have more vitamins ........
i m really concerned about whether my cats diet is balanced or not......

about the canned food..... here we have 2 brands available friskies (go
cat)
and whiskas.....
which one is better
