Feeding 14 1/2 year old cat

[msjasonbourne]

One of my cats recently passed on and I want to make sure my remaining girl is in the best health for the rest of her life.
I want to move to wet food from a mix of wet/dry but am struggling a bit on how much to feed her.
She's not very active, spends most of the time sleeping in cumfy spots round the house. I was thinking of one pouch in the morning and one in the evening but would she need a small amount of dry food too.
I'm looking at nature's menu or evolution with Lilys Kitchen dry food.
Is this about right, too little or too much since she's not very active?
Thoughts of other elderly cat owners would be much appreciated
Thanks

I'm pretty much a busted flush on this matter, I'm afraid. (When my own boy came to live with us he was 13/14, frail-seeming and grieving so we all more or less decided to give him what he wanted to eat as long as it wasn't actively bad for him - on the assumption that he only had a few weeks left and might as well enjoy them. That was over 6 years ago and the blighter has been living the life of Riley ever since!)

With experience, I'd be marginally more concerned with general health issues, I think. Seniorboy may have his electric blanket and a good diet but he also had a full dental overhaul at 16 and has been receiving treatment for steadily worsening arthritis since he was about 17 - here's some guidance on that which might be worth your having a read of since you twice mentioned her lack of mobility.

Has she had a full senior health check from the vet recently?

She had a quick check over about a month ago when I took them both for annual vaccinations.I'm thinking of taking her back for a full health check as my other cat passed away within a week having the vaccination

God love him cozietoesie he sounds utterly precious. Making the most of his nine lives!
OP nature's menu is good. Lily's Kitchen is supposed to be good but made my cat very itchy and scratchy, so proceed with caution.

My 16 yr old has a couple of pouches a day..but split, so 4 half pouches as she tends to eat half, wander off and refuse to eat anything that's been down more than 10 minutes.
I have bought all sorts of delicious, pure meat food.. animonda, Almo nature etc...and what does she LIKE? Currently Felix doubly delicious...grrrr....

But she's the boss . She has a small amount of Royal Canin dry but the older she gets the more she prefers just wet stuff.

Having said that, some days she is more active and hungry and if she asks for more...she gets it!
