"Dry food is fine as long as it is complete and balanced," says Dr. Kallfelz. Dry food may be less expensive than canned cat food and may stay fresher longer. Cats that eat only dry food need to be provided with lots of fresh water, especially if they are prone to developing urinary tract blockages.
While kittens should be fed up to three times a day, once a cat becomes an adult (at about one year of age) feeding once or twice a day is just fine, says the Cornell Feline Health Center. In fact, feeding just once a day should be acceptable for the majority of cats.
Wet food is more expensive and less easy to use but can be beneficial in cats prone to lower urinary tract disease, constipation and that are overweight. Dry food can be a very efficient way to provide calories in thin cats with food volume limitations and allows for the use of food puzzles and food toy dispensers.
Because cats are obligate carnivores, they require a meat-based diet balanced with healthy sources of animal-based fat. Lamb is a nutritious choice and may also be a good option for cats with allergies to other proteins.
Lamb is perfectly fine for your cat to eat in small doses. This meat does tend to be a bit fatty and so should be offered less often and in moderation. We recommended that you cook it properly and trim the fat off before giving it you your cat.

In all, Lamb is considered a very good biologically appropriate meat source for dogs and cats.
"With an all-natural and grain-free type diet they are lacking an amino acid called taurine which essentially predisposes them to a heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy," Billmaier said.
Dry cat food can get rotten and stale if not kept correctly and used within six months. Once the box is opened, it should be used within 14 to three weeks. Compared to wet cat food, dry cat food decomposes far more slowly once opened.
That's right – Feline Natural is made from fresh, New Zealand produce and is prepared as a raw, freeze-dried food.
As a reminder, this is because they can't synthesize this essential amino acid within their body. The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) recommend that dry kibble should contain a minimum of 0.10% taurine, and wet cat food should contain a minimum of 0.20%.
It is critical for normal vision, digestion, heart muscle function, to maintain normal pregnancy and fetal development, and to maintain a healthy immune system. Taurine is an essential amino acid in the cat.
Taurine-depleted cats develop retinal degeneration, cardiomyopathy, altered white-cell function, and abnormal growth and development. Taurine deficiency is best estimated from the plasma-taurine concentration, with values less than 30 mumol/l considered deficient.
