What about Arden Grange? Their adult foods claim
"Hypoallergenic – frequently suited to cats with sensitive skin or digestion. Super-premium quality ingredients – the very high digestibility of the recipe means that it may also be safely fed to senior cats."
Wafcol also do a senior hypoallergenic and they offer free samples, unfortunately Noah was less than impressed!

I tried Arden grange sensitive last year and she wouldn't touch it. None of the cats would go near it. The hedgies ended up eating it.  :Crazy:

Ditto the Wafcol :tired: :evillaugh:

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I looked at the ingredients and it seems to have a lot of corn in  :shify: (2 types) and I googled greaves meal and it says that it is "low grade meat meal".

Anyway, I ordered some RC sensitive thinking she wouldn't eat it as I tried it when I first got her. It arrived yesterday. It looks as if they have changed the recipe. It is now "Blue Whiting & Rice" - I gave it to her last night and she hoovered it up  :) - the plate was empty this morning. I gave her a pouch of felix senior this morning which she ignored - then gave her some more RC sensitive and she started eating it  :) - there is no telling if she will go off it tomorrow though.  :evillaugh:

You'd need to double-check the nutritional info but I think RC Digestive Comfort 38 is pretty senior-friendly. Can't remember for sure though

Burns is the only one I can find. I have never had much luck with mine eating Burns or JWB. Anyone know of any others?
