Mine likes to graze throughout the day and would ignore the entire second half of any wet food I gave him, so dry food is the better option for us. I get him the best stuff I can and he gets stuck right in whenever I pour some more of it. I give him fancy wet food as a treat every so often too, just on the understanding that it will be somewhat wasted

My cat has hyperthyroidism and needs a pill twice a day. So I feed her 1/4 of a large can of wet food twice a day with the crushed pill mixed in. It's just enough that she always finishes all of it so she gets all of her meds. And then always kibble out for snacking. Mostly snacking for her.
We used to feed ours wet food once a day but then they got tired of that and decided they mostly wanted dry food, so now it's once a week and they seem fine with that. You'd think a cat would enjoy more flavorful meals but... 🤷♂️
Dry food in the mornings and wet food at night. Never have any issues with weight and my cats always live long, leisure filled life's.
2 cats.
Their automatic feeder spits out ~10 grams of dry food 7 times throughout the day. They mostly worked out their own system for sharing and taking turns. I often manually give one more if one of them complains. The small portions helped with competitive over-eating and vomiting.
Then at night they get about 25 grams each of wet food. So a 5.5 oz. can lasts 3 days.
I fed my cat 1 scoop of dry food in the day, and half a can of wet food at night.
We only feed dry food.
Dry from the automated machine during the day. Wet at night from a can
Wet food twice per day portioned by weight of the cat, and then an automatic feeder gives them a little bit of dental health dry food that dispenses at noon and midnight to keep them from getting hungry and scratching my toes.
Fill dry food in the morning (for the day), wet food after I get home from work (night).
We feed them primaly wet food 3 times a day. But if we are away over 9 hours, we give them dry food in toys to find.
All three of them gain weight easily, so we have to control their food intake
We feed out cat wet food every day, but not a lot. Wet food is much better for cats because dry food has a lot of carbs, which cats really shouldn't have in their diet. Our cat is a pretty picky eater though, and we don't want to put down wet food just to watch it dry out and get thrown away, so we give her a small amount of dry food in the morning, and a little more dry food at night with a tablespoon of wet food.
Never. Strictly raw food.
