Thanks for posting those. Now I am concerned after reading about the mistakes people make in feeding their cats! I only give Holland dry food. She gets wet food for a treat when I trim her nails. She has three bowls of fresh water readily available and drinks frequently.

Is there anyone else who feeds exclusively dry food? Should I be feeding her wet food as well?

wet food is closer to a natural diet for a cat... so the addition of it does in theory make for a healthier cat... Mine get the rotation diet : dry, canned , raw , freeze dried and homemade.. Only time and genetics will tell if this is better than the little dry little wet little off my plate of yesturyear

Attitude and Nuts are fed all dry with occasional wet food. Maude was as well. She refused to eat anything but dry food. We have a water fountain and Attitude and Nuts drink a lot as well.

There are plenty of cats who refuse to eat wet food(I know of at least 5 of various friend's cats) and they are fine and healthy and live long healthy lives. My friend's cat ate nothing but Meow Mix(dry and full of crap) and lived to be 20. As long as they drink enough water and stay healthy I'm not too worried about it.

This one says that as long as it is high quality cats can do perfectly fine with dry only:
