I think I said it was “generally better”.  There might be an exception in this case.  I don't have a clear argument for why your cats would benefit more from wet food, and I think it's more important to look at your relationship to the cats, and why they love wet food.

Cats love their wet food and I'm not sure what the ideal human diet is supposed to be.  They seem happy with the wet food.

Is wet food or dry food better for cats?
user
Dry food is generally the better choice, although wet food does have the benefit of being more “convenient”.  Cats need a healthy diet to stay healthy, so feeding cats a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water is essential.

Okay, I guess you're right. They really love the wet food so much.
user
I don't think I can help you with this.  There's nothing to suggest that they'll be healthier on dry food, but maybe wet food just makes them happier.

I thought you said dry food was better.
