Cleo only eats wet food when there is also hard food or treats in the bowl as well. (lemmy.world)

Is this a bad habit that needs to be broken? Otherwise she won't eat.

Wet food is good for cats though. Is there a particular reason you're trying to avoid it?

Cats are pretty bad about drinking enough water. Supposedly in the wild, being from arid climates, they'd get their moisture from consuming raw meat from their kill, including the blood. Giving them wet food helps them get enough water in their diets along with less carbs and more protein over dry food.

I usually give my cats dry in the morning and wet in the evening. Mostly to save on money, because wet is expensive.
