Best cat food for senior, overweight, indoor cats with tummy issues?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

What should I look for when buying cat food? Blossom likes wet but she occasionally throws up ( especially if it's in gravy or sauce) and Kenwood likes dry but will also eat Blossom's food if available. Right now Blossom is eating Purina Pro Plan and Kenwood is eating Fancy Feast Filet Mignon and w/ seafood and shrimp. Both are inside cats with little to moderate activity . Blossom is 9 years old and Kenwood is 3 1/2. Kenwood is a big black cat and slightly overweight while Blossom is small.

You want to buy a food that is from a reputable company and meets AAFCO standards. Purina ProPlan is an excellent food, one I highly recommend. Not only do they meet AAFCO standards, but they have veterinary nutritionists on staff to ensure the food meets a cat's nutritional needs and run feeding trials. If Kenwood likes Blossom's Purina, it's fine to feed him that as well. You can feed Kenwood a mix of wet and dry food to help him lose a bit of weight. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
