From reading previous threads on this site, I learned wet food should not be left out for more than 20 minutes.Originally Posted by Zoggy
So can I mix wet food with dry food in a bowl for them to eat?
You can but then you must pull it back up and discard this mixture within the hour because wet food will spoil quickly. That is why many leave dry food out "free feed", and then give wet food in a seperate dish once or twice a day.Originally Posted by Zoggy

Honestly, there is a LOT of debate about feeding cats dry food. You would find it interesting to research I think. One site to read over is www.catinfo.orgOriginally Posted by lisalee
I feed Sash wet and dry food and I think they are both good for different reasons. He certainly enjoys both, heck Sash just loves food he's not too fussy!I think it's really hard to say one is better than the other, there are many cats that have thrived on dry food only and lived a very long life and for some perhaps wet is better.
this is what i did - since i live alone & work all day, i leave out a good quality dry food, then in the evenings give them a can to share. Pixel simply refused almost all wet food - even the meat baby food, guys, couldn't believe it - but Cable & Java both eat it, & know when it's time for wet food. if i left the wet food out, not only would it get yucky & i'd get ants. i looked at the comparison wizard, & my dry is pretty good.Originally Posted by Pat & Alix
You should keep your kittens on kitten food (or a food that states it is formulated for all life-stages) until at least 10 to 11 months. If you are going to feed both wet and dry, I would free feed the dry, and give some wet food twice a day, at least once. Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care kitten (they have two formulas, one is new - the Indoor formula) would be a great option.
That's exactly how I feel and what I usually do. Wet food once in the morning, and then dry for the rest of the day for them to free feed. Right now I just adopted a cat who is on a raw food diet, and I have to feed her twice daily. Through the day while I'm at work I feel sad about her not having anything to snack on if she's hungry!! LOL.Originally Posted by SnowLeop
I feed my girls wet food once per day then leave out dry food during the day for them to snack on. I used to feed them wet food twice per day but they didn't seem to want it this much. I guess I should try and wean them off the dry food but I'm at work all day and want them to have something if they should have hunger pangs. Maybe I'm just projecting my own nutritional needs on them but I just can't stand the thought of going 6 hours without food! I'm a grazer so I need my snacks!

Right now I'm feeding Marlee mostly dry. (She is somewhere b/t probably 12-14 weeks). I just recently started her on Nutro Natural Choice Kitten and she loves it! Anytime I go NEAR the bag she gets all excited and starts meowing.I'm trying wet food, but have yet to find some she really enjoys. I've tried MeowMix pouches, Nutro kitten pouches, and something else I can't remember. She will eat like a TINY amount (like less than a teaspoon and then lose interest). So I can't decided what to do! I know wet food is good for her, but with her only eating that much at a time, its almost a waste since it spoils quickly. Any advice on a brand she might like?
A lot of cats don't like to eat the chunks of meat in pouches. Try a variety of pate style cans from your local Petco until you find something she likes.Originally Posted by AshleyNicole
Thanks for the quick answer! I'll look for it, where is it available? I'm in a small town, about the only place to get good food is PetCo, its either that or WalMart.
Nutro cat foods is a good cat food, Petco carries those, they also carry Natural Balance, which I hear alot of good reviews about.Originally Posted by AshleyNicole
