How often do you feed your cat wet food compared to dry food? (self.cat)

Just wondering how you guys balance the mix of these. Our cats looooove wet food, but keep it as a treat for every now and then. Have to keep the wet cat food in a plastic sealed container as our cats will tear through the box they come in and dig their way through haha.

Twice a day. Little buggers eat better than I do. But I also mix it 50/50 with water and make a kind of cat food slurry to force them into hydrating a little. And then I put a little dry food out late at night as an offering so they will let me sleep.

It sounds expensive but it works out to a little under $2 per cat per day in food.

Watering it out seems to be common based on the comments here, that's definitely good to know.

Yeah same, I like to get the paté cans because it's easy to add water to get him better hydrated.
