That's a myth. Dry food is actually worse if you're comparing the two (for teeth and overall health). Sis said that and if you research it you'll find solid evidence backing that up.

Too much wet food is bad for adult cats, it rots their teeth.
Kitties loose their baby teeth sometimes between 6-9 months, after that you should switch them to small amounts of cheap raw meat with lots of gristle, some dry food with a couple of drops of cod liver or a fish oil in it to keep their coat and skin in good condition.
Don't over-feed them as young adults or grown cats, they really don't need much. Make sure their water is clean and changed daily.

Our vet says it's good to give the cats wet food along with dry, because it's good for the kidneys. Apparently cats aren't huge water drinkers.
We feed our cats some fancy all natural dry shit (not my choice, my bf pampers these fuckin guys), and Whiskas wet every few days or so. We feed them twice a day and limit their portions. Spayed cats tend to become overweight easily so we monitor that with our female (she always gains a couple pounds in the winter and sheds it almost immediately come outdoor time). They both hunt in the summer time so we don't have to portion them as much.

Rabbit fur is insanely soft, I can see why people make coats out of 'em!
