I'm not sure if this is the right forum to be asking this question but here I go:

I adopted my kitten Charlie nearly two months ago and I only fed him wet food due to the fact he refuses to eat dry. I kind of dismissed this because I read wet food is better for cats anyways. The thing is he doesn't eat dry treats either. He only eats those raw chicken treats and those soupy ones you find at pet stores (sorry I don't know specific names!).

Anyways, my question is, is this behavior normal? Should I not worry about the fact he only eat wet foods? 

PS: Sorry if the question seems silly. This is my first cat and I'm not sure what is normal and what isn't

Personally, I think you should be happy he won't eat dry food. I have one who will not eat wet food (except the Fancy Feast Broths (and only 2 specific flavors), and they are technically really treats not food.  I WISH I could get her to eat wet, I would like to put both of them on all wet diet, but little fussface won't hear of it.

@linawaary I think a lot of people would be pleased if their cats only ate wet.
  He's getting lots of moisture from his food which is great for a cat.  As long as it's good quality and has the nutrients he needs, then there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

I was just a little worried because at the local shelter I volunteer at cats go crazy for those treats and will devour any food you bring them, but on the other hand my cat sees the dry food and kinda smells it then walks away. It just seemed weird haha
