Dry typically has higher carbohydrates (hard on a cat), more "fillers", more phosphorous and other things that seem to cause urinary problems (a major killer in cats), and more preservatives | |

| Mar 27, 2014 at 17:58 | comment | added | Zaralynda | @Crazydog That seems like a lot to me, since we feed 3 cats 11 oz of wet food a day. I'm looking for a calorie reference, but this should probably be a different question. | |
| Mar 27, 2014 at 17:46 | comment | added | Mustard | I guess my biggest issue with wet food is the cost. I have a 15lb cat, and according to the cheapest cat food I can find, I'd have to feed him 15oz of wet food/day, which would cost me at LEAST $3/day for the bottom of the barrel cat food, which I probably wouldn't want. I just couldn't see spending $90/mo on cat food (for one cat), when he's been just fine eating dry food that costs me $22 for a bag that lasts a month or two. | |
| Mar 27, 2014 at 17:41 | comment | added | Zaralynda | @Crazydog cats have a low thirst drive and do NOT drink enough from their water bowl to make up the difference. They are designed to intake water from their prey, not by drinking water. | |
| Mar 27, 2014 at 17:29 | comment | added | Mustard | Both of the cats seem to drink plenty of water on their own, so I don't think this is an issue for me, but thanks for the info. | |
