It's a tough one, I personally think so long as you give them GOOD foot (wet & dry) it's OK.

Whiskas is like McDonalds for cats so i'm told, but giving them just biscuits for their entire lives I think is nasty, imagine eating the same thing EVERY day, dry boring biscuits.

I can see why dry food is better for them, as it doesn't contain the rubbish wet food does, but then the wet food is meat, and like said, cats are carnivores, so they need it (arguably) just like humans.

Feeding a cat only biscuits is like forcing your cat to be a vege, bear in mind vege's are weak, they smell and generally quite up themselves, and who'd want a cat like that!

So long as the food you give them is good food, they'll be fine. I get my cats Science Plan kitten biscuits, and Science Plan pouches, it's more expensive than other brands, but it's really good (no I havnt tried it), they seem to love it, the ingrediants list is good, and the chicken flavour, actually smells like chicken, and science plan is actually legally edible for human consumption so it must be good.

If you shop around you can get it cheap, I bought 3 bags of kitten biscuits in a 3 for 2 @ pets at home for £26 and they will last a good couple months, and packs of kitten pouches (12) were £3.99 from pampured pets. So shop around and you'll find a bargain, also you could buy in bulk which is obviously cheaper.

Science plan is costing about 50p per day for two cats, which I think is reasonable, and everyone seems to swear by it.

Hope my babbling helps!
