High calorie cat food for an older cat?

My 14 year old cat has been off her food because of the hot weather and has lost some weight and I'm looking for some high calorie food that she'll find irresistible! Any recommendations?

She's been to the vet recently and there are no other health concerns or kidney disease, it's just a case of getting her weight back up.

I used kitten food when I wanted to put weight on my late girls.

Dry food if she can have it, that always puts on weight

Plus cheese, chicken skin, treats

Hi Op my old boy really suffered from the heat last week, he ate nothing for 2 days 😕. I fed him www.webbox.co.uk/webbox-lick-e-lix-chicken. He loves it anyway and I put it on top of his usual food to encourage him to eat. I also took his food to him when he was upstairs (something I have never done before) and he appreciated that!

Thanks everyone. Will try a few of these ideas. Hopefully now it's cooler down a bit she'll have more appetite as well.
