There was a commment on the feeding of wet & dry food on the dog section which intrigued me so I created another thread there (so as not to hi-jack the original topic) on how you should combine wet & dry food & how it would apply to cats or dogs yourpetforums.co.uk/post/53379/threadI'd be interested in any cat owners comments on it as well. Please note I'm not trying to argue one way or the other I just want to understand so as I can feed our cats correctly I also think it might be an interesting discussionmespecially if there are diffenerces between feeding cats & dogs in this.

As some of you already know Molly is on Hill's Science WD dry and has been for many years. Recently though she barely eats a thing during the day and prefers to eat the kibbles during the night. As I have been concerned about how very little she is actually eating during the day and her weight loss, as well as giving her chicken and her "fishy water" and occasional tuna. I thought I would try her on the wet WD. Well try as I might she just keeps throwing it up. She has a very sensitive tummy and can't have treats but i thought considering she has always been on the WD and this was just the wet form she would be okay but I have had to abandon that idea. Funny though that she really prefers to eat her kibbles during the night. So no wet and dry here!

When we had Penny on the Hills R/D we used to give her both dry & wet but the wet never was a success - it was like a liver pate & she doesn't like cat food with liver in - none of ours do.

Skye, Rigsy and Lucky mostly eat dry, but they has a pouch of cat food in the evenings as well. I don't mix them like I do with the dog food, somehow it seems odd to do that!

I don't mix them SarahHound, they are in separate bowls but they get mixed in the stomach!!! As you say to mix it for cats doesn't seem right, probably because we leave the dry down for grazing which cats do a bit more than dogs I think.

I feed Sindy both wet and dry, she has half a pouch with complete senior dry for breakfast and the same again for tea, then i leave just dry down for her supper as she just likes to graze over it.

All of my cats eat both wet and dry cat food. I feed wet food first thing in the morning and when I put the cats in the outdoor pen I put down a dish full of dried food. As I am trying to fatten up Kai Ruki he gets a sachet of wet food with a handful of Royal Canin Maine Coon kibble in the morning and evening. Kiba-Khan gets some Royal Canin Maine Coon kibbles with his evening meal, but not too many as he suffers with constipation. The other cats get a few Maine Coon kibbles in the evening as a treat - they all love them.

Munchkin is on dry food, if we give her wet it tends to go right through her, she does have some chicken or fish every now and then, she enjoys the dry, I give it to her in a food ball as she's on a bit of a diet and this makes her eat slower or we play flickys where I flick her food around the room and she runs to eat it, its fun and she gets exercise lol
