My cat won't eat dry food, only wet. Is this healthy for my cat?

Question

Hi. I noticed that Oliver doesn't like dry food. I'm feeding him wet food in the morning and I left the dry food out for all day at mid day. When I came back home from school, he doesn't even touch it. I take him to the vet but he was very fine. He only eats wet food. And also, I don't want to mix wet and dry food because i want him to make him satisfied that dry food alone is edible. I've tried to put some chicken broth, etc, and he eat it but only just a few bites. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 15 days old | 9 lbs

It is quite alright if little Oliver does not eat dry food. Canned food has a higher protein and moisture content as well as less carbs than dry food. Cats do not "need" carbohydrates but do need a high protein diet, especially growing kittens. Feed a good quality canned food that comes from the can looking like a hockey puck. Read the ingredients and confirm there is named protein source of animal, not plant, origin. Avoid by-products and meat meals. Stay away from store or discount brands too, these typically contain low quality ingredients and more fillers.
