Re: Senior cat food


I've never fed senior diet, mine are now on Hi-life, which I guess is quite high in protein because it is 60% meat. I wonder if the source of protein makes a difference at all.

I wonder if you are worried about the phosphates in you older cat if you could add ipakitine power to the food, because it reduces phosphate uptake- might be worth asking the vet.

Re: Senior cat food


We recently switched to a senior formula as a number of our olds were putting on weight. It has helped slow the weight gain, I think mainly because they aren't eating as much of it...which isn't a bad thing, trust me!

Re: Senior cat food


I think senior food is a good idea, although I don't always feed it to mine. However, years ago there was so such thing and our cats lived to ripe old ages!
