Kitchen Cats: A Guide to Feeding Your Senior Cat

Nutritional changes can help your aging cat if you see signs of obesity, weight loss or dental problems.

Dental problems: If your cat's eating habits change, remember oral and dental diseases are common in older cats and may affect their ability to eat properly. Even the best cat foods may not help under these circumstances. As your cat ages, periodic dental check-ups will maintain oral and dental health. If your cat has irreversible dental problems, such as tooth loss, a change from dry to canned or soft-moist food might be necessary.

Try mixing water with dry food or puree it in a blender, also adding catnip or tuna may entice the cat to eat.
