Hi,

My two babies are almost 4 months old and they will not eat one bite of dry. I have tried mixing in with the wet and they will pick and choose and spit out the kibbles. It's a very good dry food, grain free holistic recommended by our breeder. It's pretty expensive with 4 cans of wet a day. What is everyone's opinion on dry vs. wet and should I try to get the to eat some? It seems that cats in the wild would not be eating something dried up and crunchy as they would kills a bird, mouse etc. so the dry does not seem natural to me. All of my other cats over the years at dry, but these bengals won't touch it!

Raiden only got dry food the first 6 years of his life. When I took him, I put him on wet food. He always has a bowl of dry food and he will munch on it at some point during the day, but he gets wet food. He prefers it ... so that's what I feed him. Just as there are some foods you refuse to eat -- cats can be the same way -- finicky is what they call it! LOL

I'm having this problem with Dexter my 6 month old.

He will NOT eat dry food. I've tried quite a few different brands but admittedly not all of them so haven't given up totally yet!

I have even tried him with the dry treats you can get and he looks at me as if I've gone daft when I put them down in front of him.

My Burmese is a dream to feed in comparison and not fussy at all. He goes crazy when I feed him the Felix treats whereas Dexter won't touch them!

My two are about 50/50 wet and dry now but when we first got them, Jagger wouldn't touch dry, I had to try many different brands but I have found one now that he loves and also suits Hendrix's delicate stomach. Apparently dry helps to keep their teeth clean (?) - I guess in the wild the bones in their prey would help with that.

Debbie - as you are in the UK and also having a problem, in case you haven't tried it already, my two eat Meowing Heads Chicken (Hey Good Looking) and they do kitten dry as well and it has a good meat content. Massive hit with them and it doesn't upset Hendrix's tummy either which is a bonus! My two also not interested in the usual treats - the only things they will eat are Thrive Chicken treats or Webbox sticks - although to be fair Jagger just plays with his and then Hendrix ends up having two, the greedy thing!

The dry food that I've settled them on is Wellness Kitten. It seems to be a good mix of wholesome and not insanely expensive, which to me is a happy arrangement. The kittens like it because the kibble size is manageable for small teeth. So they munch on it and many times, they will go through a cup of it in about a day and a half each. I looked for what seemed to be the best price and the better meaty ingredients to satisfy them. They still get their wet food in the morning though.

I did so much research before we adopted our 2 year old Bengal. I read so much about how we should only feed wet food or raw food online so that is what I do.
I also did read that raw food can be dangerous on some websites and not to feed raw but I am convinced raw is best (my opinion only).
I feed wet canned food in the mornings and raw food at night. All the raw food websites made me scared my cat wasn't getting enough bone or taurine, or too much
Vitamin A etc... So, that is why I decided to do canned cat food (Wellness, Fussy Cat, or Blue) in the mornings since I know these are supposed to be balanced.
My vet said that raw meat is so much better than any cat food that I can buy but I know vets are all over the place on this.
Also, my cat doesn't hardly drink any water so I feel better knowing that the raw food and wet food he is eating is giving him the water he needs.
Also, if I run low or out of raw, he has no problem eating the canned food.
