Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I would find an "All Stages" food that all the cats can eat. There are many companies that make this kind of food that can be fed to adults and kittens. If you google all stages cat food some will come up. Below is a link for an example, not saying to choose this particular one.

Pet food labels are notoriously difficult to read and interpret. Start by determining the life stage for which the diet is formulated. Adult diets should be fed to adult pets, whereas puppy, kitten or all life stage diet should be fed to growing animals. If a pet food has been formulated and/or tested to meet certain standards set by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), pet food companies are able to place an AAFCO statement on the label. When in doubt, discuss any diet concerns for your pet with your veterinarian.

This particular diet is formulated to meet the demands of all life stages, so technically this should be fine for kittens and will be OK to feed them this. However, there can be some problems associated with feeding adult cats this food, because it may contain more calories and make them more prone to obesity. I've included a link below to an article that further explains details about choosing food for your cat. http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/Health_Information/brochure_feedingcat.cfm

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.
