Should I start feeding my cat food formulated for senior cats?
September 27th, 2009
Hello,
I have a 7 year old, neutered male cat. Should I start feeding him senior formulated cat food? I also have a 4 year old female. She would be too young to eat senior food. I free feed them by putting their daily amount of food in their bowls and leaving it out all day. So, would it make a difference if I feed him senior food? He will probably snack on her food, and she on his.
Thank you.
I really wouldn’t worry at this stage. If something arises during the annual vet trips, then it can be addressed.
My cats range from over 141/2 years to slightly over 2 years in age. They all get the same food, and they are all doing fine.
When I was at home we had a cat that lived to be over 23 years, and he didn’t have any different diet than when he was young.

You should be fine on adult food for another couple of years yet. Although most senior foods are for cats 8-9 onwards thats still more middle aged with cats nowdays.

Always opt to adopt!
If you want, but a holistic pet food would be better.
