We feed ours wet food twice daily and keep a dry kibble feeder bowl out 24/7.
Buuut, we do not feed them when we wake up. They get fed after the rest of the morning routine is done.
(We’ve inadvertently tested this - we had a friend stay with us and they started helping around the house by feeding the cats first thing after they woke up in the morning, which lead to the cats waking us up at 5 am for awhile. After we broke the wake up and feeding connection, they calmed down.)

You only feed your cats once a day?

My boy lives by his own rules.
Refuses anything except dry food. When people advised me to get him to eat wet food for his renal health he refused it.
Vet said that eh’s going to do what he wants to.

You’re not alone, mines the same.
I do hope to get him into it at somepoint for his sake but he sees it at inedible.

The vet says that as long as he stays hydrated he can eat what he wants.
Good luck.
