Most cats benefit from some wet food in the diet regardless of the main format. A dry-only diet leaves most cats under-hydrated, which raises urinary and kidney risk. A mixed diet — kibble for grazing, wet for hydration and palatability — is the practical middle ground most vets recommend.

A typical adult cat needs around 200-300 kilocalories per day depending on weight, age, and activity. In volume terms, that's roughly 40-70g of dry food, or 150-250g of wet food, or a mix. Use the feeding guide on the packaging as a starting point and adjust based on body condition.

Not automatically. Grain-free can help the minority of cats with a diagnosed grain sensitivity, but the bigger issue for cats is carbohydrate load overall — grain-free recipes that replace grain with potato or pea protein aren't necessarily lower in carbs. For healthy cats, a high-meat recipe (grain-inclusive or not) is the practical choice.

A kitten-specific 'complete and balanced' recipe labelled for growth, with a named meat as the first ingredient. Kittens need roughly double the calories per kilogram that adult cats do, plus higher levels of DHA for brain development. Feed kitten food until around 12 months, then transition to adult maintenance.

Transition over 7-10 days. Start with about 25% new food mixed with 75% current food for two or three days, then shift to 50/50, then 75/25, then fully over. Cats can refuse food for days if a switch feels abrupt, and sudden changes cause stomach upset — go slowly and be patient.
