I have had cats most of my childhood and we always just fed dry with no problems. Now it seems that dry food is horrible and unhealthy for cats. What has happened. Most of my adult life i have always owned a dog. I always thought cats would be easier than dogs because if we were to go away for the day or overnight we can leave out food and water. of course anything longer and we would have a pet sitter but feeding strictly wet makes it a lot harder.
