It's designed to constipate them as well. You don't want your dog shitting 8 times a day.
Yup. The only dry food that is fine is 100% freeze dried meat / fish, but only as a treat, so again their kidneys don't take a huge hit. Cats usually don't like drinking water itself (they take in water from their killed prey usually) and feeding them anything dry makes them even more susceptible to kidney problems.
what if i just feed my cats soup
Well, obviously they need something of actual substance. But cat soups exist and are actually recommended like 3 times a week or so. I keep adding water to his foodbowl and he eats it up and drinks all the water usually, which is kind of like giving them a soup with meat chunks in it. He also has a seperate bowl for straight up water. One additional benefit from dunking it all in water, is it lasts longer, since wetfood tends to dry out really quickly.
