Is it okay to mix wet and dry cat food for weight management?

Question

My cat is aproximately 4.5 kg and has been on a diet for about half a year. I noticed that she enjoys wet food a lot more than dry food but I can’t afford feeding her only wet food at the moment. Would it be okay if I feed her wet food twice or three times a week and the rest of the week only dry food? Would she gain weight again if I do that? I was thinking Whiskas or Felix since it’s easier and cheaper to get here. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 2 years old | 9.9 lbs

It is probably best to maintain Ginger on just dry food rather than switching it up a couple times a week. Unless she is supposed to be much smaller, 4.5kg is usually a normal cat weight. Measure out her food and only give her as much as she needs to maintain her weight. If you find that she is gaining weight on her current food and amount, then you may have to decrease what you are feeding her just a little.
