Cat food for an old boy

[Motnight]

Hello I am looking for advice for my 14 year old cat, who is in good general health but has a touch of arthritis.

For the past 3 or 4 years he has been eating the dry food Meowing Heads Senior Moments. But he appears to have gone off this. We stopped buying him wet food a while back as he simply licked bits of it and wandered off leaving the rest to just go stale.

He loves Dreamies and the cat stick treats.

I'd just like him to enjoy his main food as he used to, and to be eating something that is designed for older cats. Has anyone got any suggestions please?

I think that I have included a photo of him here!

My cat is 17 and has gone of all cat food, if I give him some wet food he licks off the gravy and leaves the rest, so for the past few weeks he's been eating tinned tuna, chicken breast and cat milk!

He does love tinned tuna! Maybe I should just supplement his food with what I know that he enjoys.

My old boy was the same . So we gave him tinned tuna or cooked chicken .

Our old boy loved the soup type ones, he'd demolish 3 or 4 sachets of this a day even right at the end. And he still liked his dried so we ended up getting a semi moist one.

Sheba Perfect portions seem to be the wet cat food of the hour for our old girl. We have 5 types of dry food open at the moment Eight if you count dreamies and two sorts of dental bites. She'll only trouble herself for one flavour (so actually that makes 9 sorts) of dental extra crunchy biscuits. Luckily we have another cat who will hoover up the stuff she decides not to eat, he's put on almost 1.5kg over the winter.

Thanks for all the replies. I will definitely feed the chicken and tuna.

Our cats are very contrary!

Hi-Life do a tuna pouch for senior cats that is (50%) actual tuna but also a complete catfood (iyswim) for seniors. Very popular here: indeed, was demolished by this pair - who were 10 on Monday, so quite junior seniors - for breakfast today.

(Also, Midnight!Cat is very handsome - he looks as if he’s wearing a wee superhero-type mask!)

Apologies accepted @TheBallerCats! Your cats are rather gorgeous too!

Baller Cats has a certain ring to it: am uncertain as to their basketball skills, but in the broader sense of excellence or success… perhaps? 🤔 Although I didn’t need Nijinsky to demonstrate his prowess as a literal cat burglar while I was up at the hospital earlier

Am perhaps a wee bit biased, but they truly are [foot-]traffic-stoppingly handsome. They don’t spend as much time on the sitting room windowsills as they did when they were wee - they’d a positive fanclub as kittens, with people hanging around hoping to see them & taking photos & things. I do not jest.
