Do I really need to start treating my cat like a senior kitty-citizen?

Asked by tinyfaery (44107points) February 16th, 2011

My oldest cat will be 10 this year. She is supposedly a senior cat and because of that I am instructed to give her different food and supplement her diet with vitamins and what not. But she is still a frisky little kitten. She is the most playful one of all of my cats. She isn’t overweight and aside from her heart problem, which is stable, she is just as healthy today as she was 5 years ago.

Does she really need different food and different care. If so, why and what should I be looking out for?
