After the age of 10 years, a cat starts feeling the effects of aging. Kidney function, joints and the immune system are the first to be affected. Teeth and gums can also become sensitive making it difficult to chew. Proper nutrition for aging cats is essential to ensure they live a long and happy life.
Aging care starts before a cat becomes a 'senior'. INDOOR Mature 27TM's Age Support Complex includes powerful antioxidants like vitamins E & C and green tea polyphenols (150 mg/kg) to combat cell aging, as well as omega 6 fatty acids to nourish the cat's coat and glucosamine and chondroitin (500 mg/kg) to support aging joints so that a mature cat can age gracefully.
A cat's teeth and gums will become more sensitive as she ages. INDOOR Mature 27TM's ultra-soft kibble is easy on the mature cat's fragile teeth and gums. For dental health, the kibble texture, shape, density and size simulate a brushing action on the mature cat's teeth, while sodium tripolyphosphate traps harmful minerals that contribute to the formation of plaque and tartar. Green tea polyphenols also contribute to better oral hygiene.
Strong stool odour can be a problem when cats live exclusively indoors. Highly digestible carbohydrates and proteins (like brown rice, wheat gluten and dried egg powder), fibre from beet pulp, prebiotics like FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) and water absorbing ingredients like zeolite work to ease digestion and reduce a cat's stool odour.
