At what age do you switch to "senior" food?
I don't believe I would ever just categorically switch to senior food because of an age number. I think that cats need a good quality protein in old age and that many senior foods drop the ball in that regard in an attempt to cut calories. Each cats needs should be evaluated separately- some cats put on weight as they get older, while others have trouble keeping enough weight on. Some cats have diseases/conditions that mandate a specific diet. It's not as black and white *IMO* as ___ years = senior diet. If you describe your cat in regard to his age, health, activity level etc. I'm sure folks will hep you determine what his specific needs are. I think after 8 or 9 a cat is considered senior. http://members.aol.com/larrystark/ |
