My two kitties are getting older and I am thinking that soon they should transition to dry food exclusively. They are currently being fed half a can each of Iams KittenCare in the morning, and half a can of Friskies at night. They then nibble on Iams dry kitten food throughout the day.

Any tips for the transition?

I used to wet the dry food a bit w/ water when they first transitioned. Then I decreased the amount of water each day till they were on dry only. I still use dry only, and wet as just an occasional treat.
I'm sure they'll transition just fine.

I did it similarly, but I mixed some dry food in with the wet, and gradually increased the amount of dry until no wet was left.

It worked for all but one, Ferdy steadfastly refused to touch dry. The other 2 aren't remotely interested in wet.
