How often do you feed your cat wet food compared to dry food? (slrpnk.net)

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.

Wet food every time I can afford it. I will get a lot of flak from people here but cats are not supposed to eat that much grain.

Is there kibble with low, almost no grain percentage? For dogs there are decent options.

There is plenty of grain-free food out there; it's even a search option on chewy. The problem is the grain filler is often replaced by something else that's either not nutritious for cats or possibly even harmful (like potato and peas), and that still doesn't resolve the moisture content issue.
