Problem with Wellness Indoor, or any "indoor" food for that matter, is that it has a much higher amount of carbohydrates (38% of calories) and is NOT grain-free. You'd be better off just doing portion control with the Core. Any dry food, if left out for free-feeding, has the potential to make cats fat.
The way to encourage cats to eat wet food is to pick up all the dry between meals. When you leave it out for continuous snacking, they aren't going to be hungry enough to eat much of the wet when you offer it. Instead, leave the canned out for free-feeding (yes, it's okay to do that), and only offer a small amount of dry (less than a quarter cup) at meal times. Slowly give less and less dry until they're getting all of their caloric needs met from canned.
Top-dressing the canned with extra tasty things like tuna juice, parmesan cheese, bonito flakes, pulverized kibble or treats can also help entice a cat to eat it.
