You can, and mixing the food together is a good way of changing a cat over from a dry diet to a wet diet. However, depending on the quality of the food, it could cause stomach upsets due to the completely different ingredients. Dry food is usually filled with grains, corn and other cereals which take a very long time to digest. Wet food, which usually has meat in, takes far less time and effort to digest, so the difference could cause food to be undigested for a long period of time and just sit in the stomach, which could cause vomiting or diarrhoea in some cats.

Instead of mixing the food, many owners feed their cats wet food once or twice a day, and leave a little dry food out between meals or overnight so the cat can snack if it is hungry.
