Old cats cannot eat adult cat food. Old cats have a slower metabolism and have less energy requirements. If the owner throws in kitten or adult cat food, it may cause obesity. Moreover, old cats do not have enough ability to metabolize or excrete excessive protein metabolites. The fat content in food should be reduced to limit caloric intake. However, the fat given should be highly digestible and rich in essential fatty acids. It makes up for the poor digestion and absorption function of old cats and helps the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

How should elderly cats be fed:

1. The metabolism of elderly cats slows down, so the fat content in food should be reduced to prevent them from becoming obese. Low-fat and high-protein foods such as chicken, pigeon, and fish are suitable for elderly cats.

2. If an elderly cat has bad teeth, you can use pet goat milk powder to soften the cat food and give it to the cat.

3. Probiotics can be used occasionally to help cats regulate their gastrointestinal tract and solve problems such as soft stools and vomiting.
