Have you tried mixing in dry with their wet? Start off 75% dry 25% wet or 50/50 if they aren't super super picky. :)

I can give it ago but I have a feeling they just won't eat it and knowing I will throw out the old food and just give them biscuits the next day idk biscuits work for me and my girls so it would be good to find a good brand they do drink plenty of water I think

I don't have any experience with biscuits, so hopefully someone else can stop by and help you out with that! :)

Are your cats already eating on a schedule, or do you mainly free feed?  If you are free feeding and WANT to feed them wet food, then to convert them to wet food, you need to get them used to eating on a schedule.  Here is an article on on to get them on a schedule:  http://www.thecatsite.com/a/transitioning-free-fed-kibble-kitties-to-timed-meals

Once they are on schedule feeding times, then you CAN switch them off biscuits (we call it different things here, like dry food, or kibble
), using some of these tips:  http://www.thecatsite.com/a/transit...-to-a-new-type-of-food-canned-raw-or-homemade

Now, if you absolutely do  not want to try to them wet food, there are other articles on how what to look for in food, like this one: http://www.thecatsite.com/a/choosing-the-right-food-for-your-cat  and this one  http://www.thecatsite.com/a/how-to-compare-cat-foods-calculate-carbs-dry-matter-basis and even this one:  http://www.thecatsite.com/a/grain-free-cat-food-what-does-it-mean

But, since you are in Australia, and I'm not familiar with what brands are actually sold there, or even what brands can be shipped there via the internet, I can't actually tell you any good affordable brands
.  I'm hoping all this information will help you though


One of our team members, @Mani, is in Australia....maybe she feeds bisquits!  I've tagged her so she may give her two cents.
