Description
At three in the morning she stands in the hallway and calls
Not for food. Not at the door. She stands in the middle of the corridor, loudly, and when you switch on the light she looks at you as if you had asked the question.
Loud night-time calling is one of the most common signs of cognitive changes in old cats. Added to that: she no longer finds the litter box reliably. She stares at walls. She seeks closeness like never before – or withdraws completely. The sleep-wake rhythm turns around.
Please see the vet first. In old cats, something else very often lies behind exactly these signs: an overactive thyroid, high blood pressure, declining eyesight or pain. These are treatable things, and overlooking them would be the most expensive mistake.
Only once that has been clarified does the nutrition question become interesting.
What the ageing cat brain needs
The same logic as for the dog, in a cat-appropriate execution:
DHA as a building block of the nerve cell membranes – here via algae oil and concentrated fish oil.
Medium-chain fatty acids (C8) as an alternative energy source for nerve cells whose glucose utilisation is declining. In the cat, dosed considerably lower than in the dog – cats are fussier about oil amounts in the bowl, both in taste and in tolerance.
Lecithin as a choline source, deliberately set higher here to compensate for the lower MCT amount.
Taurine, as in all our cat formulas.
Added to that: coenzyme Q10, B complex, zinc and copper in a 10:1 ratio, and a complete antioxidant system.
The omega-3 amount stands at around 150 mg per day – within the limit we keep in all our cat products.
