Should I start feeding my cat food formulated for senior cats?

Hello,





I have a 7 year old, neutered male cat. Should I start feeding him senior formulated cat food? I also have a 4 year old female. She would be too young to eat senior food. I free feed them by putting their daily amount of food in their bowls and leaving it out all day. So, would it make a difference if I feed him senior food? He will probably snack on her food, and she on his.





Thank you.|||I really wouldn't worry at this stage. If something arises during the annual vet trips, then it can be addressed.





My cats range from over 141/2 years to slightly over 2 years in age. They all get the same food, and they are all doing fine.





When I was at home we had a cat that lived to be over 23 years, and he didn't have any different diet than when he was young.|||You should be fine on adult food for another couple of years yet. Although most senior foods are for cats 8-9 onwards thats still more middle aged with cats nowdays.|||If you want, but a holistic pet food would be better.|||no
