We currently have a year old male and a 4 month old male both have been neutered.
We are keeping them on the Purizon dry kitten food as the fat content is similar to adult variety. There is a version for Sterilized adult cats which is much lower in fat but our 1 year old doesn't over eat.

I am thinking of changing over to adult wet food, the first photo is the ingredients for the kitten food, the next two are the adult food. I want to change the wet food because the year old cat really likes one of the adult varieties. The kitten will eat anything! Will he be ok on the wet food? The dry food has a high meat content and they both eat plenty of that.

They're both much of a muchness.
The wet is lower in calories, as it has more moisture and you therefore feed a bit more.
Wet food is good as it gets some water into cats and a lot of cats prefer it.
Maybe transition through a mix of both until you have them all on wet?

Both around 70% meat /fish on the mixing bowl ingredients. Slightly higher protein in dry, but weight for weight you would probably feed more protein as more of the weight is water when you are looking at the nutrition panel, if that makes sense?

I'm really Sorry, I've just noticed my error, I meant to say I want to change from kitten wet food to adult wet food. Those ingredients are for the same brand of wet food but first photo is kitten variety.

They do have dry food in addition, we're keeping them on the same dry food.
Thanks for replies.

The main difference is chunk size, to be honest. Formula wise there isn't much between those examples.

Thanks Weedsnseeds1,
There does seem to be a few more body parts visible but I always mash it up for them. It's Feringa brand btw.
