    It's always smart to think about how the big cat eats in the wild because genetically all cats are related and have VERY similar internal working systems. They don't dine on the exact same meal everyday. Commercial dry food(even the high quality stuff), is processed and void of ANY kind of moisture. Your cat should have some soft food everyday but on the other hand, a feline should not solely live on soft either. When a cat catches a prey, they devour the entire kill...bones, ligaments, flesh etc. There needs to be a balance. A diet that consists solely of crunchies will most certainly cause future health problems sooner or later. These may range from Kidney, bladder to Digestive. Please also keep in mind, that feeding your cat a higher quality food now, although more exspensive, you will still save money in the long run because it will keep future health problems less probable. One last thing, NO FREE FEEDING. Get a set schedule for your cat. It should eat twice a day normally, although there are circumstances where it may have to eat more, such as hyperthyroidism, free feeding is yet another way of just asking for an array of future health problems. I speak from 30 years of personal experience from my own animals, as well as many years of animal rescue, years of research on Pet Nutrition and The Scary Scary Commercial Pet Food Industry. I have written numerous articles on these topics, as well. Hopefully, something I wrote might be helpful to you in the future. Good luck.:)
