Is there a soft dry cat food ?

If so what ? I did find soft treats CRAVES

I'm not aware of any...is she having trouble with dry? I don't like dry food anyway after everything I've learned about feeding cats, but I'd rather a cat eat period!

There used to be some semi-moist brands, but they were usually not recommended because of the likelihood of bacteria building up in them and the preservatives triggering allergies. I don't know whether there's still any left on the market.

There use to be a food called "Tender Vittles" years ago. The experienced a severe recall and went off the market.

Meow Mix does make a dry food with a soft center. I have found that Nature's Variety Instinct in the original Chicken formula is soft enough to easily break with your fingers.

FreshPet is soft as well. It is not a "dry" food though. I heard someone explain that the texture is similar to cornbread stuffing.

Why not just feed canned food? :dk:

Tender Vittles is still sold in Canada, so you could probably find it online somewhere. But it has a lot of propylene glycol :/.

Thanks everyone, I'm just wondering how people go away for a few days and leave a cat if they don't eat dry food ? Or is it cause she's a kitten and will be able to when she's older and if so how old ?

I have to have someone feed my cats twice a day for me when I'm not here.

Likewise. I have someone come twice a day (or 1 person in the morning, 1 in the evening.)

I bought some of the Deli Cat soft dry food when it first came out. It turned moldy in the plastic jar after about a week and a half.  They are still making it, but look at the ingredients.

Brewers rice, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, meat and bone meal, ground yellow corn, beef tallow preserved with mixed-tocopherols (source of Vitamin E), fish meal, turkey by-product meal, phosphoric acid, salt, brewers dried yeast, dried liver digest, added color (Red 40, Blue 2, Yellow 5, Yellow 6 and other color), potassium chloride, choline chloride, tetra sodium pyrophosphate, taurine, DL-Methionine, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, manganese sulfate, calcium carbonate, vitamin supplements (E, A, B-12, D-3), niacin, L-Alanine, calcium pantothenate, copper sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid, citric acid, calcium iodate, biotin, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), sodium selenite.

That is from the list of ingredients on the label of the package.

I have seen cattle feed with a better nutritional value for cats than this.
