Different dry food vs can

I was wondering does your cat love dry or can better ? Which one ?  

My cat Bella loves 9 Lives

Well, most of them are total kibble addicts, and like kibble best. But I hardly ever give them any, just for a treat. For canned, they like Friskies best. . .any flavor. They get cranky when I try another brand :lol3:.

Mia loves Friskies canned food but I can no longer afford to give her it (she was eating half can in the morn and free fed dry the rest of the day). She gets dry only now. I buy a 16 pound bag of Purina One Synsitive systems every 3 months and I buy when its on sale for $20 instead of $24. You gotta to do what you gotta do when you are on SS. Between that and litter I only spend about $14 a month. She loves the Purina One Synsitive Systems and its one of the only ones she doesnt throw up on. 

I've tried to get my Tiger cat to eat raw, freeze dried, can (pate, chunks, shreds) in a variety of flavors and he'll only eat these for one to two weeks and then he won't touch them anymore. He's old (will be 16 in June) and set in his ways. He likes dry kibble and what he loves is Nature's Variety in Chicken, Rabbit flavors. He also eats Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken, Duck flavors.

Tiger is a totally tail less manx breed cat. He has a short body and his last weigh in was 11.6 pounds. He's still active. He loves to play and runs through the house like a top fuel dragster.
 

We weaned our cats off of kibble, for the most part.  I only use it if they appear exceptionally hungry between canned meals now and in very small quantities - maybe 1/8 cup if that.  Both get grain free; Cocoa's is a combo of  PureVita chicken and Before The Grain chicken.  Casper gets Blue Buffalo Basics, currently Turkey.  They get separate types because we adopted Cocoa recently and didn't want to mess with her diet yet.  Eventually, we'll wean her off the PureVita and mix in the Blue Buffalo, and we'll be mixing in some of the Before the Grain with Casper's Blue Buffalo so they are eating the same thing.  

I believe they like wet and dry equally, which is why I switched to wet for their main meals. They are both good eaters as far as type of protein is concerned, although Casper isn't fond of duck unless it's hidden in with other meats and I recently discovered the same for ground beef, which is what Instinct uses.  He's happy to nibble on pieces of our hamburgers, but not fond of the canned cat food type.  Might just be the texture of it however, as he's eaten sliced beef of some other brands and enjoyed it.  

They are both on rotations wet food; Merrick, Weruva, Instinct, Before the Grain, Chicken Soup and Natural Balance.  I try and stay away from any with seafood in them when possible, but will feed it now and then, perhaps once a week, but no more and never a variety which is totally made from fish.

I'd like to get them onto a raw diet eventually.  I've been doing research but I'm not quite ready to dive into it yet.  

I haven't fed dry in a long time, but I'm pretty sure if I put the two out, he'd go straight for the dry.

Mine would eat dry if they could. What they get is raw food. They love it! But they were serious kibble addicts.
