Is there any reason we should not feed our thin cat (she's 7 years old) a

she's been gobbling it up.

It's what I'd do. If she is underweight and has that tendancy I wouldn't
figure it a problem.

Thanks. Although our cat just turned 7, and I see a lot of cat foods are
marketed as senior or mature formulas for cats age 7 and older, I'm assuming
most senior formulas are for weight control and not so good for a cat that
needs to gain weight. This is a cat that is so active I don't think she is
every going to be overweight. She is one cat that could be free fed without any
fear of overeating; unfortunately with our new fatso we can't do that anymore.
