On this Biology Blog link is an interesting article on the perpetual debate - whether dry or wet food is better for cats.
Quote from article:
Even though society is accustomed to seeing Garfield-sized cats, obese, middle-aged cats can have a variety of problems including diabetes mellitus, which can be fatal. The causes of diabetes mellitus in cats remain unknown eventhough there has been a strong debate about whether a dry food diet puts cats at greater risk for diabetes. A new study from a University of Missouri-Columbia veterinarian suggests that weight gain, not the type of diet, is more important when trying to prevent diabetes in cats.

well, the only thing i know is, "shark is the only mammal in the world tat dun get cancer". tis is the promo tagline for shark's liver oil in healthfood industry. i was in the industry many years ago. =D
mcwc: tat was pretty much the case. now, there are further refined studies on sharks + cancer. but to be objective, shark-derived supplements are not cancer cure. and shark liver oil are harvested not from those poachers massacre for it's highly prized fins.
i took the oil b4, my skin was smoother. heh.
MCWC said this earlier:
Fresh Fry - Is that true about sharks? That's pretty interesting...
As far as dry vs. wet - Our cats like dry food. Simon tends to get vomit when we give him wet food, so that makes the decision easy.
