Sort of the opposite of this thread.
I’ve had my cat for close to 10 years, and while I have served canned, wet cat food as a treat two or three times, mostly I’ve stuck with the dry food.
She always eats it all and doesn’t seem to mind it. She’s always been a very happy cat.
Most cat owners feed their cat canned cat food, though, right? Does anyone feed them dry cat food, like myself?
Dry food is better for their teeth. My cats only get soft as a treat. Ask your vet, they will tell you so.
I fed my little kitty wet food thrice a day, with a little dish of dry food there as a feline disgestif, so to speak.
But I remember a friend–well, a kid I went to high school, I hated him–who worked in a pet store. He once equated wet food to taking a kid to McDonald’s, and said he almost NEVER fed his cats wet food.
I never fed any kind of wet food, until my cat got so old he had some trouble chewing the crunchy bits.
After he passed, I had continued the wet food with my remaining cats, sort of out of habit, but recently picked up a new brand of dry food (nothing special, just Purina Natural) and they eat it like it chocolate-coated crack, while ignoring the wet food.
Most people I know just feed dry food unless its for a specific reason…
All the vets I know (3 that I speak with on a regular basis) recommend a predominantly wet food diet for felines, given that so many cats will develop problems with their kidneys and urinary tract in their lifetime. Wet food is also lower in calories for the bulk than kibble. Not getting the McDonald’s comparison.
But I know plenty that only get dry kibble and are generally fine.
I don’t feed my cats pet food, but what they do eat (raw animals) is full of moisture.
I feed my cats pretty much exclusively dry kibble. If they want something meatier, they should go out and hunt it down and kill it themselves! No coddling kitties, that’s my motto!
I don’t disagree. I simply bring up that dumbass as an anecdote. Glad to see the vets are on my side! 
I feed dry food. I have one of those automatic feeder deals so that the cat doesn’t wake me up at 5am for food. He loves to drink water* and he has no health problems, so my vet had no issue with it.
We used to give our cats dry food only, and they seemed happy enough. Then my wife started giving them some wet food as a treat, and now she’s taught them to noisily beg for it once a day around suppertime.
My kitty Brrrt gets by just fine on dry cat food. She doesn’t beg for food from me or pester me at all and she seems really healthy and happy. She was badly stressed when I got her and had lost/licked off most of her fur over her whole back half, and she was pretty skinny. I started her on the Purina Sensitive System dry food and she has got all her hair back and put on weight. She looks sleek and good now.
The Neville kitties only get dry food. They don’t tend to eat all their food in one sitting, and we had a problem with the wet food attracting bugs.
My cats get kitty kibble with the odd bits of raw chicken thrown in for good measure. They supplement their diet with mice and pigeons as they see fit.
We feed mostly dry food, here, for similar reasons. My cats are leisurely eaters and prefer to wander back and forth to their food. Willy Shakespaw and Koltira get tinned food as a treat.
I feed my cats only dry food. They catch and eat bugs and critters outside.
Two of the kitty owners I’ve kitty-sat for do half dry and half wet. The other two do all dry.
If kibble is good for pet’s teeth, then why does the “the American Veterinary Dental Society reports that 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age three”, and why does the American Veterinary Dental College claim that " periodontal disease the most common clinical condition occurring in adult dogs and cats, and is entirely preventable. By three years of age, most dogs and cats have some evidence of periodontal disease. " 
Both vets that I go to strongly recommend some canned food every day for cats, especially male cats. My cats get some kibble but mostly canned and raw, whatever I have on hand. People who feed raw generally report very few dental problems and really clean teeth well into middle and old age.
My cats, Joule and Pi, only get dry food, and only get wet once every few months as a treat.
I tried giving my cat wet food a couple of times; she won’t touch it.
My cat gets Purina Cat Chow, all the mice she wants, and (this year, at least) the occasional earwig. In my experience, feeding canned/wet food to an exclusively indoor cat has led to looser stools and a much less pleasant cat box cleaning experience.
We do half-wet and half-dry. One of our cats is very meal-oriented and very noisily insists on a very regular dinnertime: that’s when he gets his can. Breakfast is kibble, which they both free-feed. The other cat will take a few nibbles of the canned/wet food sometimes but seems to prefer the kibble. Oddly, that one - who is not meal-oriented in any way - is the chunky one.
Both get occasional snacks of raw or cooked meat. Tiny bites of my sashimi are very popular.
