Why do we choose this life?
Brand new furniture becomes trash in months. Gotta mop up streaks when she decides to hide behind the couch and not drink her water. Get woke up in the middle of the night when fatty decides she didn’t eat enough.
I could sit here and type for a hundred years and not even come close to airing out my frustration. :p
God help me.

What others have said. With regards to diet and drinking - look into raw feeding.
Has there been any conclusive study that shows raw feeding actually helps anything- and more importantly, helps enough to overcome the very real risks involved?
Be careful with raw feeding as there have been recent cases of cats dying (avian flu was in the raw food).
I've been raw feeding for over decade. The health of my cats massively improved. The ones that have been raw fed right from the get go are the healthiest I've ever been owned by. One of my cats, the vet said was the "most beautiful specimen he's ever seen" (yes he used that terminology lol and all my cats are just mutty rescues) and said he was incredibly healthy.
I've gotten more food poisoning from supermarket food than I ever have off raw cat food, which is to say never in that time. We use a high quality local business that specialises solely in raw feeding.
With regards to research, just bear in mind that the pet food industry is a multi-billion dollar industry with vested interests in maintaining the status quo. There's also plenty of evidence to show that, as an industry, there's a lot of dodgy stuff going on and that its causing huge health issues for pets, including deaths. I believe there's been several documentaries on it but I haven't looked this info up in many years.
I'll edit this with some studies once I'm on my PC and not my phone because it's annoying to do with a phone keyboard.
