That's great - as long as it is a healthy grain and corn free canned and is the main staple of their diet. If dry is used at all it should only be as an occasional treat. A cat needs water with their food. Not beside it.
I would be concerned if your cat has lost weight quickly. That normally indicates a health issue; not a change to a healthier diet. For a cat to lose 1 pound it's like a human losing 10. Cats should lose weight slowly and consistently. A weight lose that happens too quickly can turn into fatty liver disease which can be fatal if not treated quickly. If you can notice a lose after only a few months on a dry food diet I would suggest a vet visit for a complete health check.
