I've read a lot that cats should only eat wet food, and at least twice a day, 12 hours apart. My concern is: it is impossible to guara...

Looking for a wet/canned pate/minced cat food that can hold its body when adding extra water
My cat is texture sensitive and will only lick or lap up her wet food (she has no teeth).
