When I first was abdopted by Skitter it was very cold outside and she was very hungry. I think she might have tired to eat anything that she could get down. She ate both the dry and the moist food I put out. Now that she has become a semi indoors cat, has taken over the house, has my wife and I as her personal care staff she seems to only enjoy the dry food. I think it might be the crunch of it.

Is it ok if a cat only eats the dry food with lots of water available for her to drink. Or should I keep trying different "can or moist foods" to see if I can find one she will eat?

When I buy something that she does not like, I donate it to the shelter in hopes that they might have a cat who does like it.

Hi Poolboy

Our two cats wont eat wet food from a tin but will eat ti if it comes out of a sashet, maybe try one or two loose sachets before you go ahead and get a box full, expensive mistake I made first time around.

First off, congrats on adopting her And on working on keeping her indoors!

Ideally wet food is better for them nutrionally, cats as a whole, don't take in enough water when they consume primarily dry food. So if they do eat dry, like you said, be sure to keep plently of fresh cold water available. Just play with it until you find a food she likes. Try to stick to higher quality foods for her, like chicken soup, felidae, wellness, eagle pack, etc... Not friskies, nine lives, or whiskas type of grocery store brands.

You can always even just feed wet as a once a day feeding and dry for the second feeding as an option too. Some wet is better then no wet when it comes down to it.

Good luck!
