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.

No, cats do not like their food heated. They like their food at room temperature. This is one of the biggest problems with wet food: what to do with the leftovers. You can't leave the food out, because it will spoil. But you can't put it in the fridge, because they won't eat it cold. But they also won't eat it if you warm it up in the microwave. So you have to make sure they eat all of it in a matter of hours.
