I'd like to try moving her over to canned one more time... but I'll wait
until my personal situation stabilizes somewhat before attempting that.
I'm not even sure her digestive tract can tolerate the canned given the
troubles she had the last time I tried it. I still feel guilty for
subjecting her to all that messiness... even though she loves canned. I
can still remember her desperately tryna clean her rear... then finally
looking up at me with eyes that I'm sure said "Help!".

Hodge can get diarrhea from high-moisture canned, so when I tried out
some I also gave him some kibble to see if that helped.

He's on Hill's c/d now, which seems good for him, although I could wish
it were just a bit higher moisture.

When I talked with Hill's, I think they suggested adding water to the
kibble for more moisture. Sounds good but then the kibble turns mushy
and I don't think my cat likes mushy foods. Although if that all she is
served, then she might eat it.

In any case, I have a few pieces of Oral Care from Hill's that I give
her whenever I feed her canned or mushy food. I would like to think it
cleans the teeth. It has an endorsement on it for that. Now I think the
ordinary kibble might also help the teeth if it has an endorsement? But
not if mushy. Moisture is more important than anything so I share your
concern. Adding some water should increase the moisture. Somehow, some
way. How much may turn this into a demanding exercise in mush versus
dry kibble spectrum.
