which science diet formula?
What's the difference between the science diet "feline adult" formula
and the "senior" formula? I'm talking about the dry food that comes in the bag. I've continued to feed my 11 year old cat the "adult" formula despite the label saying it's for cats under 7 years. A vet some time ago told me it didn't matter, but that was a few years ago and am wondering if I should change. Thanks. |

The thinking is that "seniors" need less calories than an active young adult -- just like people. |

There is usually less fat in food for older cats. LT -- |
