How often should I schedule vet check-ups for adult and senior cats?

Question

How often should I bring my adult (5 y/o) kitty and senior (9 y/o) kitty to the vet for a check-up? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 9 years and 6 months old | 16.6 lbs

A 5 year old kitty with no medical issues should see the veterinarian once a year. A 9 year old kitty with no medical issues should see a veterinarian every 6 months. As pets age, symptoms of some age-related diseases can be extremely subtle, so we recommend monitoring them more closely.
