Is my cats diet okay??

[Albus&minnie]

I own 2 cats , albus and minnie who are brother and sisters .
I feed them wiskas food mainly , but sometimes i feed more expensive cat food like applaws .
Albus weighs 14 pounds , and minnie weighs 8.5 pound .
I feed a mixture of dry and wet food .
I feed minnie 2 pouches of her wet food , and about 10-15 g of dry food .
And , since albus is overweight he is on a diet from the vet .
He gets 1.5 pouches and 5-10 g of dry feed .
I give them half of the wet in the morning , and then after half an hour i remove it , and a little later i give them dry , and then at night i give them the other half .
So they get to eat the dry when they want .
Sometimes i give them applaws , quite ralier

The more wet food you can give rather than dry food the better.

It helps to check the ingredients to get an idea of how many carbs are in it.

I shouldn't feed dry food??

Dry food is bad for cats, through and through.
Cheap wet is better than even "fancy" dry. Kick it to the curb.

Not if you can help it. Cats should get moisture from their food. Kibble is not ideal for cats.

Vets =/= certified feline nutritionists. Dry food is like sugary cereal for cats, check the links I sent and do a little snooping around on that site; plus a few more to see the facts.

You can probably already see that cat diet is one of those topics where people have a wide variety of opinions on what the best food is. Generally wet food is better because of the moisture content and the fact that wet food has less non-nutritious “fillers” like grains, potatoes, peas and veggies. Cats are obligate carnivores, so they don’t benefit much from plants. The best guide is to pick a wet food high in meat-based protein, low in carbs and with few fillers.

Vets often don’t know much about feline nutrition, and it’s common for a vet to recommend dry food. We’ve fed cheap dry food to our guys for years. We changed to a higher quality limited ingredient dry food and our overweight tabby stopped bingeating, became very active and naturally lost 3 lbs over three years. And we still free-fed.

Then we switched to wet food, and our skinny perfect-weight active kitty, Gohan - who had always been pretty healthy - put on some muscle and his coat got super soft and shiny. So even if your kitty is healthy, wet food or higher quality food can really make a difference.

Hope that helps, there is a lot of information out there and it’s hard to find out the best thing to feed.
