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.

2 cats.

Their automatic feeder spits out ~10 grams of dry food 7 times throughout the day. They mostly worked out their own system for sharing and taking turns. I often manually give one more if one of them complains. The small portions helped with competitive over-eating and vomiting.

Then at night they get about 25 grams each of wet food. So a 5.5 oz. can lasts 3 days.
