3. Senior Cat Foods
Janet Tobiassen Crosby DVM
As our cats get older, their dietary needs change. They don't need as many calories as a younger cat, and may need some help with joint health and weight management. The definition of "senior cat" varies some, but is usually cats older than 8 years of age.
Have you switched your cat to a senior diet? How did you decide on this brand? What do you like about this food, and do you think it helps your cat? Please tell us about your favorite senior cat food.

Just like humans, cat treats and snacks are becoming healthier. Smart consumers know that calorie and sugar filed snacks contribute to pet obesity and a host of other problems. Thank goodness we now have many snacks and treats to choose from for our cats. Some snacks are "just because" and some are used as training aids.
