Ok, I was thinking that maybe it is better to have something to snack on during the night, to not leave the stomach empty. But yes, when the dry food is available, he will go and eat non-stop and often without chewing. I saw that he basically just swallows kibble super quickly. Very little chewing. So you are right, having food available at any time hasnt done him good, I wont leave it out anymore.I would strongly recommend against leaving dry food out. Eating constantly is a disaster for any stomach, let alone for a cat who has digestive problems. Put him on a scheduled feeding, it might even be the case that on scheduled feeding he will enjoy wet food as well.
2nd thing to also pay attention to is if he eats too fast. Wanting greens means he is trying to heal himself as he senses his stomach being upset.
3rd thing is to try raw food diet, if nothing else works. Usually cats have less digestive issues on that. But either way keeping feeding sessions to 3x a day is the foundation for a healthy long lasting digestive system.
He has been less interested in plants lately, so probably a good sign!
Wish I could get him to eat raw cat food. Last time we tried, he just sniffed, shaked his paw and scurried away.
