If tony prefers canned royal canin rabbit and pea selected protein over the senior diets I've tried, are any of the foods you suggested in my last question similar to rabbit and pea.. or are there any senior diets out there that may be similar to it? Thanks!!

Rabbit based foods are a little more difficult to come across. The only rabbit based diets I have ever found have been novel protein diets formulated for adult cats, comparable to the Royal Canin variety he has been eating. It may be worth trying a few different flavors of canned senior foods to see if he finds any of them palatable. Worst case scenario, you can also find a dry senior diet (again, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, Royal Canin, or Purina One) that he will tolerate and mix it with the rabbit and pea food regularly. Here are a few links to different canned senior cat diets available: http://www.hillspet.com/en/us/products/sd-feline-senior-11-plus-healthy-cuisine-tuna-and-carrot-med-stew-canned https://www.proplan.com/cats/products/focus-adult-11plus-chicken-beef-entree-classic https://www.proplan.com/cats/products/focus-adult-11plus-salmon-tuna-entree-classic https://www.royalcanin.com/products/royal-canin-feline-health-nutrition-aging-12-canned-cat-food/4082 I hope this helps and that all goes well for Tony!
