You'll agree this is an exceptional circumstance and not the norm. :)

At any rate, I'm not sure I agree that canned food is always better.

Canned food is always better because it more closely resembles a
natural diet, for which the cat's digestive system evolved. Cats are
obligate carnivores and have no business eating corn or rice. :)
That said, Fez and Rufous would happily eat nothing but kibble, so
there are cats out there who just don't like canned food.

Cheers.

Persia's vet gave me a choice when she went on her prescription food in
2004: canned food or dry kibble. He never said one was better than the
other for her. I agree cats are carnivores but given the price I have to
pay for Persia's prescription food I'm more likely to buy what she'll eat
than toss out most of a can because she only eats a few bites then walks
away. If she winds up losing teeth then I'll consider gooshy food. Until
then... you know :)
