Well my 14, 11 and 9 year old healthy cats all raised on dry food would disagree with you.

Please, please read the research, for their sakes. I was a dry food feeder for years, and not the cheap, rotgut stuff, either, but a formula I could only get from the vet.

Cats were not studied the way domestic farm animals were studied in veterinary nutrition trials decades ago. Newer work makes clear that they are obligate carnivores.

As would all of the cats I've raised and the two current kitties! I do feed them a can of wet food at night, you should see the dance and hear the music when it's time for that!
