Determining how often to feed your cat wet food depends on several factors, including their age, health, and whether you’re using a mixed feeding approach.

Kittens
Kittens have different nutritional needs than adult cats. Royal Canin suggests that from around four months old, kittens require wet food to support their growth, immune system, and digestive health. The frequency can be several times a day.
Adult Cats
For adult cats, wet food can be offered once or twice daily, especially in a mixed feeding approach with dry food. Dreamies advises against leaving wet food out for extended periods or mixing it with dry food due to spoilage.
Mixed Feeding
If you’re combining wet and dry food, SHEBA recommends leaving dry food available throughout the day and offering wet food as a meal in the morning and evening. Consistency in feeding times is beneficial for the cat’s digestive system.
Dental Care
Regardless of feeding frequency, remember the importance of dental care. Regular teeth brushing and dental treats are recommended.
