Yes! In fact, wet food is far better for your cats than dry food. Good quality wet food is high in Protein and Fat, and because cats are strict carnivores, they use these two nutrients as their primary source of energy. Moisture is an essential factor as cats are designed to get their moisture from their food (a trait that has been passed down from their wild ancestors), and therefore have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own. Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 65%-75% water, wet and raw food provides a cat with more than enough water each day. Dry foods in comparison have 0% - 10% moisture. It is advisable to stay away from brands that include Corn, Wheat, Cereals, Soy and various Sugars in their foods - cats have difficulty in digesting these and do not provide any nutritional value to the cat whatsoever. Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.

Yes, sometimes cats will drink water. However, a cat has evolved to derive water from its prey/food, so will not often drink from a bowl unless very dehydrated. To combat this, owners often provide their cats with wet food if feeding dry and/or provide a water fountain to entice the cat to drink more water.
