I explain it to them. 

I tell them that cats can dehydrate up to 4% before drinking because they’re designed to get their moisture through their food, this makes sense because they’re domesticated from the Near Eastern Wildcat which lives in an arid environment. 

I tell them that cats are obligate carnivores with 0 requirements for carbohydrates, and that even the best kibble is carb-heavy because that’s what holds the kibble together. I explain that some carbohydrates aren’t the end of the world, but the high levels found in kibble decreases protein digestibility. 

I tell them that kibble cleaning teeth is an Old Wives Tale that has never been substantiated, studies have found that kibble cleans teeth only when it’s designed to and the impact is marginal. Genetics and overall health are more likely to impact a cats dental hygiene, and nothing is a substitute for teeth brushing.

I tell them that kibble is associated with an increased risk of Type 2 Diabetes, as well as a number of other health issues. I explain that kibble is a human convenience, not a benefit to the cat, because it is easy to store, can be left out for longer periods of time than wet food, and is often less expensive.
