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

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.

We used to feed our cats almost entirely dry food, with wet food as an occasional treat (no real schedule for wet, just every now and then).

But over the years we've had a number of cats that had health issues that were mitigated by switching to mostly wet food.

So now it's reversed- almost entirely wet food with dry food occasionally (every couple of days or so). At least, for our indoor cats.

We also take care of a feral colony (many of which we've TNR'd), and those cats get dry food for logistical and cost reasons.
