[quote=Anonymous]So, the little guy I fostered as a sick 4week old found in a snowbank is now 16 years (!) old. Our two dogs have passed away  (from old age) in the last 2 years, changing the pack order in the house significantly. Old boy and younger girl (now almost 7) are trying to restructure their place in the house, mostly in relation to food.

Old boy has been to vet and is healthy, just experiencing the normal metabolic issues with older cats (ie. needing more fat and protein). He’s lost a significant amount of weight. The vet suggested this was normal at cat’s age, and that dietary changes would be helpful.

My biggest problem is I cannot completely free feed him, as younger cat comes and steals the food. Since the passing of dog #2, she’s become a food hog and has become quite obese, despite being thin and agile previously.

Does anyone have any suggestions about feeding or for Food? I feed him exclusively when he comes around separately, but his appetite isn’t what it used to be, so it may only be a tsp at a time. [/quote]
