What kind of health supplements should I get for my aging cat?
I want my cat to live as long as possible, and I'd like to know of any good supplements to keep my cat healthy. She's almost 7 years old, on the small side, and is a completely indoor cat. She's extremely healthy, robust, and playful. I feed her Blue Buffalo Spa Selects, but I may be switching her to a better food.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
I don't mean medicine, I mean holistic food supplements, like vitamins.

If you want her to live a long time, don't give her medicine unless she needs it. Only if she gets sick. Take her to the vet for annual check-ups.
Hope I helped:)

all that i can say is go to your vet. you can give her lots of love and attention. and whatever you do, when she does pass away, don't let her go at the vet. bring her home, make a nest for her, lay by her, and let her go in peace.

At seven, she's just barely middle aged. She's not old. Blue Buffalo is definitely one of the better brands, I think the only way to do better is to go homemade (provided you do the research into how to balance certain nutrients), or raw. Spending the money on good quality food means spending a lot less at the veterinarian later, that's for sure. I'm big on standing around the pet food store, reading labels on cat food until my feet ache and the store clerks wish I'd just go home, but I don't think you need to add anything to this food.

Regarding food for our beloved pets I've come a LONG way down the road of not knowing which to choose & wanting to watch my budget.
My advise is to feed as good a quality of food as you can afford without taking out a loan from the bank.
I've been feeding my 13 yr old cat Burns cat food then I adopted another cat needing a home. She came with Royal Canin Himalayan long hair- type kibble. Within the top three ingredients was corn. Corn an inexpensive carb that in many cases is known to contribute to allergy problems. For the higher priced Royal Canin large bag, I was shown a substantially lower priced 6 kg bag "Nature's Harvest" with far superior healthier ingredients.
When the cats where given both foods (Burns & Royal Canin) they both went for the Royal Canin which proves that you can't leave it up to them to choose the best. Where do the kids want to go for super, McDonald's or the family restaurant serving home cooked meals.
Both cats ate up the 2 foods which I mixed together & now the Nature's Harvest has been added to wean them off the other two & they seen to be happy with the resulting adult Holistic kibble at the substantially lower price than the other two.

I think you should keep her on the same stuff and just make sure she stays healthy!

If you change it then it might screw up her routine and it could make her sick. Then she will die even sooner.

Hope this Helps!!!!!!!!
