Can 5 month old kitten eat kitten dry food and all stages or adult wet food ( both in the diet) like Waruva wet food? She really doesn't like kitten wet food

I generally recommend a basic adult diet for all cats six month and older. Prior to this, kitten food provides the necessary nutrients required for appropriate growth. If she likes the dry food, I might consider simply feeding the dry food exclusively. You can feed the adult wet food as a sort of treat. That would be my best plan. Hope this helps.
