Re: Dry Kitten Food
You could sprinkle some of it on top of her wet food or alternatively just leave a small bowl down for her during the day and see if she takes to it. Some of the dry food like Royal Canin Babycat you could add a little water to to begin with but that tends to be more when you starting weaning.

Re: Dry Kitten Food
I just put a bowl of dry down for Mai Tai to nibble on all day - the James Wellbeloved kitten range smell great and she loves the ocean fish one. If your kitten has never had dry at all before just put some in with her normal food to start with.
Make sure she has plenty of water available though if you change completely to dry food.

Re: Dry Kitten Food
The wet diet you have her on is far better for her long term health than any dry diet. For the sake of her being a bit messy as a baby - which she will grow out of, cats are scrupulously clean as a rule - I don't think its worth the trade off personally.

If you think she is getting in a mess avoid wet food in gravy try meatier brands like HiLife, Encore (Sainsburys), Natures Menu, Applaws etc.
