When your cat has a poor appetite, you can temporarily feed it a mixture of kibble and canned food, but it's not recommended to do this long-term. Canned food contains a lot of moisture, which softens the kibble. This softened kibble can leave residue in the cat's mouth, leading to bacterial growth and problems like bad breath and stomatitis.



Secondly, food spoils easily in the high temperatures of summer. If soaked and softened cat food isn't eaten promptly, it can easily develop a large amount of mold, which may cause gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting and diarrhea in cats. Therefore, when feeding cats a mixture of kibble and canned food, it's recommended to clean up any uneaten portions immediately. Additionally, remember to brush your cat's teeth regularly to protect their oral health.
