Wet food for kitties

[GLC1968]

My cats have always been free feeders, and are not fat. My son has 3 cats who get fed twice a day and they are all as big as houses. The only difference is that mine go outside. I think it all just depends, you know?

Ours is the same way. He is free fed (dry food) and has pretty much always been indoor/outdoor (4 years). He's very svelte, very active, and very healthy.

When we first moved here, he was confined to our apartment (for 4 months) and he did gain quite a bit of weight. He was getting what we called the 'beer belly'. After a few months at the new house, he was back to fighting weight. He also drinks a TON of water, but only because we allow him to do so from a dripping bathroom sink. When we used to go out of town, we'd confine him to the house and set up a water fountain. He drinks from that if he can't get us to turn on the water but he'd rather exercise his power over us if he can. He often will sit and meow at the dog door so that we'll hold it open for him. I draw the line at that.
