My almost 17 year old cat has a bad tooth and has trouble eating dry food. I have been trying to get him to eat wet food, but he is so picky! Anyhow, he seems to like the pate wet food, but I think he has trouble eating it because it's too mushy. I've tried giving him wet food chunks, shreds, etc..., but he just licks the gravy. Do you think if I mixed a little bit of dry food in with the wet he will #1 Be able to pick the wet food up better, and #2 Will the dry food get moist enough that he could eat it without hurting his tooth? I do not want him hurting his tooth, because the last time he did, he stopped eating for a couple of days and got dehydrated.
