Spike and Sumo, my 2 MCs are about 10 months old now and I've switched to regular cat food. My question is how much wet should they get a day. I always leave them big bowls of kibble to keep them going throughout the day, and I usually give them a half a can each of wet once in the morning and once at night. Is this enough?

I'd wean them off the canned food gradually unless you want to have their teeth cleaned every other year by the vet. That involves anesthetic, antibiotics for a week or so, and a lot of money. Switch to canned only once a day first. Also start mixing dry (one tablespoon) with the canned then gradually reduce the amount of canned and increase the dry.
