Friskies is ok, it's not the best of the supermarket brands, but it's certainly not the worse. In terms of supermarket brands, I prefer Purina, but if Atticus has been eating Friskies his entire life, I'd keep giving it to him. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Hello, and thank you for your question. The most important thing to look for in a pet food is an AAFCO label, which tells you that the diet went through either a clinical trial or met a certain minimum standard when formulating the diet. This will ensure that the diet is complete and balanced. As far as specific brands, I like Royal Canin and Science Diet as reliable, high quality pet store brands. They do have specific wet diets for senior cats. I hope this helps, and that Lilly is happy and healthy!

Hi. No, you don't need a specific breed type food for Caterina. If she is 6 years old or more, any adult or senior food is ok. You will want to feed a high quality food such as science diet, royal canin, or iams for best results. Good luck.

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Friskies is not the best choice for cat food and I usually reserve recommending this brand for sick patients that won't eat anything and need a little more enticing for the appetite. Friskies contains mostly biproducts in the ingredients but it is not going to put her life in danger. Friskies meets the AAFCO statement and all life stage requirements and the truth is, I've seen many cats on Friskies their entire life and they looked great. I do typically recommend Science Diet or Royal Canin as my first choice recommendations as I know that have quite a bit of research they have put into their diets and from personal experience I find that both are great diets. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further!

I would get them a senior cat food to feed the senior cats. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I would not be surprised if these cats want to go outside, as they have been used to going outside. I would get a cat tree and place it by a window so they can sit on it and look out. Get some toys as well to play with, and be sure to feed them according to the instructions on their bag of food. Being indoors they won't have as much exercise as outdoors, and you don't want them to become overweight. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
