Dear Dr. Fox:
Your response to a reader's question regarding wet food vs. dry food was enlightening and frightening.
My 8-year-old cat recently had diabetes diagnosed, and she is overweight. She has been on an expensive dry-food diet for years. It appears that I have been harming my cat because I was misled to believe that dry food was better for her teeth. She is receiving four units of insulin twice a day. What can I do to reverse this? I am furious.

Many cat owners share your fury and dismay. How did the pet-food industry and the veterinary profession get it so wrong when it comes to feeding cats (who are carnivores) high-cereal content manufactured food?
