I currently have 2 (female) cats at home, and recently had a male "house
guest" (i.e., a foster cat from the local humane society).  All three ate
dry food and seemed to like it.
	I get IAMS from a decent pet store in the area; even though the
male cate was neutered, I knew I didn't have to worry about him developing
cystitis.  The ash content of IAMS is low so that shouldn't cause problems.
You might see if your cat(s) accept tomato juice.  I'm told the acidity
of the juice helps to prevent cystitis, and all three cats in my
household deemed it a prime treat.
