When your cat reaches their senior years it's time to consider a switch in food. Just like our needs change as we get older, your cat’s nutritional needs may begin to shift.

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 and thanks for posting. A brand that comes to mind that may be what you are looking for is Sojos which is freeze dried food. You add a small amount of water to it and the food pieces are on the softer side but not mushy. I hope this helps!

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!

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.

She can eat just about anything she likes being hyperthyroid, as there are no specific diet recommendations for hyperthyroidism. As long as she continues her medication daily, then she can be on any senior diet food. that she likes. Some recommend high quality brands are Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin, Eukanuba or Evo. Best of luck with your cat Stascha and her thryoid condition. Take care!
