17. I fed my last 2 on kibble because trying them on wet food gave them the runs

and diarrhea in 2 long haired cats is extremely unpleasant, especially for the cats.

One cat was a breed notorious for dental problems. He needed 2 dentals, 7 years apart, when the average was every 3 years. The other one never needed any dental work.

The wet food/dry food debate will never be solved because it likely depends on the cat. Both are formulated to provide all the nutrition cats need and the cats seem to like both kinds.
