So my two babies both are thriving on Blue Buffalo's dry indoor adult cat formula. McGee, at 14 pounds, gets a total of 3/4 cup per day (1/4 and 1/8 cup twice a day). Cosette, at a healthy 7 pounds, gets 1/2 cup per day (1/4 cup twice a day). They both drink a fairly decent amount on their own -- so much so that I think I need another water dish, or perhaps a Drinkwell fountain.
While I have no active health concerns with this diet, since they're both very healthy cats, I do wonder about UTIs and crystals. I've been wondering if I should start supplementing with wet food. I tried to feed McGee wet food when I first got him, but I think he's a dry addict. He stuck his nose right up at it. To be fair to him, I am still a new cat owner and I didn't try any methods to get it to appeal to him. I didn't try any different brands or flavors. So that was my fault.
Just wondering if I need to consider a wet supplement or if the 100% dry is fine. Sorry for the semi-long post. These are my first cats, so I still have many questions.
I just want the best for my darlings.
