Reply to comment by ThorDamnIt in Wet-food diet promotes the recovery from surgery of castration in adult young cats by napovarj

Probably also has to do with water content. Cats don't have a strong instinct to drink water, and one recovering from surgery would likely be more hesitant to make a trip to the water bowl. Wet food helps cats stay hydrated better which provides a broad range of benefits.

More than likely. Dry kibble is terrible for cats, even the premium stuff. And then, most of the food is too high in phosphorous, so they get crystals in their urinary tract. I'm spending around a hundred bucks a month to feed my cat, and had I known all this before I got him, I probably wouldn't have. Cost me a couple grand in vet bills to find out, too.

That’s a great point which I hadn’t considered.
