Should be all wet if you can. It’s healthier for them.

My guy loves the dehydrated stuff but won’t eat it with water, so i mix it with raw kangaroo meat (which he also loves).

Picky little spoiled fucker won’t eat anything cheaper.

Our cats get wet food morning and night, and dry food available all day. They munch on the dry food occasionally, but they are now in love with wet. ~6oz of wet food per day for each of them

We used to feed our cats almost entirely dry food, with wet food as an occasional treat (no real schedule for wet, just every now and then).

But over the years we’ve had a number of cats that had health issues that were mitigated by switching to mostly wet food.

So now it’s reversed- almost entirely wet food with dry food occasionally (every couple of days or so). At least, for our indoor cats.

We also take care of a feral colony (many of which we’ve TNR’d), and those cats get dry food for logistical and cost reasons.

Mine has CKD so he mostly eats wet, but his second bowl always has some dry and he snacks on it whenever the other becomes unedible.

Once a day, 18:00, religiously, as a treat. And there’s no way that I’d forget about it without them reminding me, they get really excited.

(We call it “papá” here, as if it was baby food - and the word is forbidden outside the wet food context. Frieda’s face when I tell her “es ist Papázeit!” is hilariously cute: she dilates her pupils, gives me a “mrrwwwn!”, and start dancing around me.)

Typically I buy it in cans, blend it with half can of water, then freeze it into ~1tbsp portions. They seem to enjoy it more this way - if I don’t do it they lick the liquid, leave the solid on their dishes, and ask me for more. Then I just need to unfreeze two portions, make sure that there’s no frozen bit, and serve.

Ours absolutely detests any form of wet food. If it’s not dry, he won’t eat it.

Twice a day. Little buggers eat better than I do. But I also mix it 50/50 with water and make a kind of cat food slurry to force them into hydrating a little. And then I put a little dry food out late at night as an offering so they will let me sleep.

It sounds expensive but it works out to a little under $2 per cat per day in food.

We do all wet, ours are a couple of old ladies, so they get what they want.

Wet food twice a day (quarter of a 300ml can each), one in the morning, and then in the evening. dry food available throughout the day.

We do only wet food. Our last cat needed it to keep up hydration, and now we do the same with our new cats. Def more expensive, and not sure it’s worth it for healthy cats that drink enough.

Once a week, in the weekend they get wet food. Rest of the time it’s dry food.

I give them dry for breakfast, then wet with a little dry for texture when I feed them at dinner

Dry food is always available. Wet food is split one can between both kitties at the same time every day. The big one finishes what the smaller one leaves behind.

Tuna is reserved for special ocassions, like their bday, certain holidays (the ones where humans celebrate with food), or after having to visit the vet.

So seldom she knows not to expect it.

Today ,

Crunchies are always available. About 10 pm, just before i go to bed, i let the dogs out to potty and the cats come running. 1 can or pouch split among the 3 (half to the old girl who’s missing teeth) mixed with a little hot water.
