Is it okay to just feed my cat soft food or should they have hard food too?

Some cats prefer canned food and some prefer dry. It is okay to just feed canned food as long as it is a balanced diet. It is actually better for some cats with urinary issues to be fed canned food because of the increased water content as cats in general are not avid drinkers. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
