Adult senior cats should have high-quality cat food to keep their energy levels at
the height they should be for this important time in their lives.
A senior cat will require good quality cat nutrition to maintain and repair their body tissues. The portions of cat food given at mealtimes should vary accordingly to the amount of size and activity levels a cat has.
At Hills Pets UK, we recognise the activity levels vary from cat to cat which affect the amount of calories they should be consuming. With our Hills Science Plan you can be sure youll be feeding nutrition that will help keep your pet healthy.

Obviously, cat requirements will vary depending on the size of the cat and its natural appetite should be influenced by its bulk. Appropriate portion size can be measured by the condition of the cat
