But wet food...even the cheaper stuff...is still quite a lot more than dry. I know most of us consider wt food far superior, but I fed my cats completely on dry for YEARS and they did not do too badly. Ok, I would draw the line at the cheapest supermarket foods as I am sure thay cause urinary issues, but even buying a better brand of dry such as Hills etc would work out cheaper. I used to buy 5kg bags of prescription dry for around £30 and that fed 4 cats for about 6 weeks.
Oh, and agree that emailing lots of comapnies for samples is a great idea...what was that one on GR's thread, I got a biggish bag of that to try.

I do agree that some cats do perfectly well with a dry food diet. BUT wet food is considered especially important for cats as they dont tend to drink water as frequently as a dog does (for example) If you have a cat who doesn't often drink much water and then switched them from a 100% wet food diet to a dry one you can risk subjecting them to dehydration.
