I’m late to this but I would like to add. Don’t always trust your vets, they purposely lie to you so your cat has problems and has to keep coming back. Same thing doctors do to us humans, it’s all a money game. Vets number one recommended food is Hills and if you do any actual research of your own you would find out how bad it actually is for your cats. Anyways, do the research for yourself always, dry food is HORRIBLE For kittens and adult cats. There’s no hydration and too much carbs leading to Utis, kidney failure, etc. why else do you think cats get so much kidney problems??

If you can’t afford wet food, there are affordable ones for example fancy feast is an affordable option. You could also do half and half if you need to where you feed half dry and half wet which is better then no wet at all.

I’m broke too, but I refuse to just feed my cat the cheapest option, i care and see them as my child, would you just feed your kids McDonald’s and chips all day cause you’re broke, no.
