Do you feed your cat wet food?
Just wondering if you feed your cats wet food or dry...I feed both, but am wondering about doing that. These are grown cats that never go outside..need opinions. Thanks

I have found that a quarter teaspoon or so per day of psyllium husks (Source Naturals makes a nice fine powder that I get on amazon) mixed into moist food (raw in my case) makes a large difference in the frequency of hairballs in those cats consuming it. Stir it in carefully, then add a little water to create the desired consistency.
For the one that won't, when needed I put hairball goop in an empty lysine capsule (coated inside with oil first so it slides in), then coat the outside with oil for easier pilling, and POP! Down the hatch it goes. Sputnik likes the taste of walnut oil, go figure. Whatever makes her happy is good with me. For most cats, butter will be enjoyed. I find that not only does oil on the outside make pilling much easier, if chosen carefully it leaves a pleasant taste in the cat's mouth, that makes them argue a lot less over time. Learning to pill a cat can be a challenge, but when you do it has a lot of benefits. Giving the goop that way is much less stressful than any other method I've found.
