    Moistening Kibble

    Hello, I'm a new member looking for some advice on improving my cat's diet and water intake. I've been lurking on the forums a little bit and am still reading through Peirson's CatInfo.org so I understand the main problem behind dry food is the extremely low moisture content. My cat (Luna)...
