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

        The veterinarians I asked all said the same, the least dry food the better and at best no dry food at all. Dry food promotes the development of kidney problems, which is one of the most common causes of death for cats. Evolution has optimized cats for living in desert/savanna environments, so they take in moisture through eating, not drinking and therefore a cat will never drink enough to balance out the loss of body moisture that is caused by digesting dry food.

      I’ve had multiple cats live into their 20s on dry kibble. They’ll be fine.

        Sure, do as you please. I’ll keep passing on what several vets taught me though.
