I've fed my cats dry food for a while already, but recently I was doing research and learned that ideally cat's shouldn't be eating carbs, and dry food is bad for them especially because they need lots of liquids to stay healthy. So I started feeding them 50/50 dry food mixed with canned food. I have five cats and I can't afford to be feeding them 100% canned food (in the future once I start making more money I can switch them over but at the moment I can't). So I'm just wondering, can I just mix water into their food when I feed them? I started doing that a few days ago and also started adding lunch to their feeding schedule (instead of just breakfast and dinner) so that they still get the same amount of calories in, since i noticed the water fills them up fast but leaves them hungry sooner.
So I just want to confirm here that adding water to all their meals is okay to do.
Or, as a possible option, is 75-100% cheap canned food like friskies better than 50/50 dry and wet (still cheap food) with water mixed in? I might be able to do 100% canned food but only if its a cheap option, unfortunately. But I might be able to supplement with quail eggs, since I own quail, as well as omega 3 oils since I use that to supplement my dogs diet.
