Just wondering how you guys balance the mix of these. Our cats looooove wet food, but keep it as a treat for every now and then. Have to keep the wet cat food in a plastic sealed container as our cats will tear through the box they come in and dig their way through haha.

Twice a day. Little buggers eat better than I do. But I also mix it 50/50 with water and make a kind of cat food slurry to force them into hydrating a little. And then I put a little dry food out late at night as an offering so they will let me sleep.

It sounds expensive but it works out to a little under $2 per cat per day in food.

Watering it out seems to be common based on the comments here, that's definitely good to know.

Yeah same, I like to get the paté cans because it's easy to add water to get him better hydrated.
