True, at this age, nutrition is critical. Though I admit, Kitten Chow (or its high-priced equivalent) was pretty much all that ours got. Only Alfie (blue-point Himalayan, and Chief Steward wannabe) ever got wet food, and that was because he was having trouble eating once his kidneys started failing. We gave him sub-cu fluids for a year, and hand fed him until the day he looked at me and said it was time. There wasn't a dry eye in the entire vet's office. We'd all been through so much with him (two abdominal surgeries -- his eyes and mouth were bigger than his intestines), and he was such a sweetie.
