I have a kitten that loves my tea (hot or cold), is it bad if he takes a taste - I won't drink it after but if I let him have a little he will leave it alone. He loves cat nip is that the same as tea?

I have been told that cats having a diet consisting of strictly dry food, greatly increases the risk of diabetes. They enjoy Purina's Indoor Formula dry food and I wanted to find out if there is truth to this. Need I look into "wet food" options and get them away from the dry food?
I have two cats - one 4 and the other 2. The young eats too much and the old almost nothing, why is that?
Is it ok to store dry cat food in freezer bags and then put the bags in the freezer?
I have been doing research into irradiated foods for my microbiology class and I came across an article that stated that our FDA has approved all irradiation on pet foods and I was wondering if any of your pet foods are irradiated?
