Persia's already overweight, hence only getting 1/2 cup total per day. 
She 
hasn't been free-fed in years.

She drinks plenty of water :)  She loves her Drinkwell fountain!  But the 
common perception seems to be a combination of wet/dry is best so if I can

get her to eat both it would be ideal.

I couldn't lift a 20 lb. bag of food! I ordered the 10 lb. bag for
economic 
reasons.  Hopefully it will have the same zip-lock seal the 4 lb. bag has.
