I was giving him more, and he'd eat half and go back for the rest later, but a friend told me that you shouldn't let the wet stuff sit open.
You are getting good advice in this thread so i don't have too much to add.
The only thing i wanted to write is that I think you can get into real trouble by applying human nutritional preferences/requirements to another species.
Whether wheat is good for humans should not be factored into when making decisions about cats....

I am a vegetarian for example and think that for me, it's a healthier choice. But NEVER in a million years would I try to put my dog or especially my cat on a veggie diet....

Just something to be aware of - welcome to the forum!
