My senior cat with health issues won't eat. What comfort food?

Question

Hi there, My cat is 18 years of age, and has a thyroid problem and heart problem. She is medicated but the decision was made to stop taking her in and out of the vets as it would make her very stressed for at least a week and she'd settle again. Instead of putting her through this and everything else. I. Have been trying to keep her comfrroabke at home which she is but I still worry as she does eat less. What food could I give her to bring out her senses and make her last days lovely and comfy. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 17 years and 9 months old | 2.7 lbs

I'm sorry Lucy isn't doing well at the moment! I would offer her some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) or some really smelly wet food that has been gently heated such as fish or sardine based. You can also try offering her some boiled ground beef. I hope this helps her eat!
