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.

Once a day, 18:00, religiously, as a treat. And there's no way that I'd forget about it without them reminding me, they get really excited.

(We call it "papá" here, as if it was baby food - and the word is forbidden outside the wet food context. Frieda's face when I tell her "es ist Papázeit!" is hilariously cute: she dilates her pupils, gives me a "mrrwwwn!", and start dancing around me.)

Typically I buy it in cans, blend it with half can of water, then freeze it into ~1tbsp portions. They seem to enjoy it more this way - if I don't do it they lick the liquid, leave the solid on their dishes, and ask me for more. Then I just need to unfreeze two portions, make sure that there's no frozen bit, and serve.
