It's fine until they start getting kidney issues. A dry kibble diet can increase the rates for kidney issues due to lack of water intake, and can often lead to obesity. However, controlling the diet properly (and not allow free grazing)crystallight wrote: ↑ How bad is it to feed a cat a dry food only diet? Assuming the cat seems to drink enough water on their own.

What if I measure out the proper amount for a full day, put it in the drinking bowl in the morning, and it's all gone by the end of the night? Seems like that would be proof the cat is drinking enough.

I feed Weruva too. I get their stews. My cats are weird. As kittens, they were raised on dry food. For wet they would lick all the wetness from it, but not eat the solid parts. The Weruva stews are great in that they are really, really wet. My cats will eat it all up.bobohobo2kx wrote: ↑I feed half wet half dry. My 8 months old 7.7 lb kitten gets Acana dry food in the morning and Weruva wet food in the evening. Costs about $60 a month.
If the water bowl is empty by the end of the day, then that's typically a sign that your cat wants more water. You should be refilling the water bowl at least twice a day.crystallight wrote: ↑ What if I measure out the proper amount for a full day, put it in the drinking bowl in the morning, and it's all gone by the end of the night?

Sure, so then I fill the water bowl back up when it's empty or near empty.joeyjoejoe wrote: ↑ If the water bowl is empty by the end of the day, then that's typically a sign that your cat wants more water. You should be refilling the water bowl at least twice a day.

I recently switched my cat's diet to 1/2 raw 1/2 wet in an attempt to alleviate some of the pains after she goes to the loo (from an owner's perspective). On her previous 1/2 dry, 1/2 wet diet, she would consistently poop twice a day and the odour was highly unpleasant. Now it's about once a day, the stool seems more firm (less likely to stick to her butt/leg fur) and the odor is much more tolerable. Her coat also feels softer. I'm planning to switch her to a full raw diet after she finish her current wet food cans. I calculated this will roughly bring her food budget up to around $85/month. The raw food is Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Signature Chicken Medallions/Bites and I get them from Global Pet Foods.joeyjoejoe wrote: ↑ I feed Weruva too. I get their stews. My cats are weird.

My budget is much higher. The Weruva Cat Stews are $3.09 per 5.5oz can. They get 2 per day + some dry food. The dry food serves 2 purposes. It rounds out to the proper caloric intake for my cats that are about 10lbs each. 2 cans is not enough, but 3 cans is too much for 2 lazy adult indoor cats. Also they won't wake me up at 3am wanting to be fed. The total damage is much higher at about $125 per cat per month. Last month there was a sale on these (buy 2 get 1 free). I cleaned out multiple Pet Valus.

I find similar results, my cats poop once a day or once every two days, and the poop are very firm pellets, and the poop no longer smells, just the ammonia in the urine. The difference was undeniable in terms of their litter box. This is due to the cat using up most of the nutrients, unlike processed cat food where a lot of the fillers just get pooped out partly digested.bobohobo2kx wrote: ↑ I recently switched my cat's diet to 1/2 raw 1/2 wet in an attempt to alleviate some of the pains after she goes to the loo (from an owner's perspective).

I noticed that she stopped drinking water after switching off kibble and onto raw. I'm slightly concerned but I'm wondering maybe it's because the raw food already has moisture in it, plus I add a little bit of water when mixing it.
