Sounds like your cat was very hungry. Maybe you are not feeding it adequately so it will scarf whatever it can. Best feed her a good quality brand name wet food, approx. 5 to 6 oz split into two feeds per day.

Hello, sorry to hear about Sass. Some cats unfortunately prefer to eat the dry food over wet food and vice versa. A few things you can try is to mix the wet and dry food together. You can also wet down her dry food to increase the amount of water consumed. Ultimately, there is nothing wrong with eating dry food alone but ideally they should eat both. Hope this helps and best of luck.
