Aries appearance has definitely changed.
Around the time that the kids were born, Aries stopped cleaning herself. Her fur started to get matted and she wouldn’t let me brush her.
Her backbone doesn’t feel as bony and I thought that maybe she’d put on some weight. Wishful thinking perhaps?
It turns out that since beginning her transition, she’s put on almost half a pound. I’m willing to bet that her diet is the reason for this positive change!
Think of aging as an iceberg.
There are visible signs at the surface, but the majority of aging in cats happens under the surface.
These invisible signs start during mid-life and can result in serious diseases later in life.
Nutrition can help manage these threats to prolong the health of your cat.
Royal Canin also suggested to watch for invisible changes such as; better overall functioning of kidneys, heart, digestion and cognitive function. You will notice this if your cat looks more alert and healthier overall. The fact that Aries hasn’t vomited this week is a huge accomplishment considering it used to be an almost daily occurrence!
As for the changes in Aries energy level…
Aries has never been an active cat. If a mouse ran a foot in front of her (and one has!) she wouldn’t move a muscle (and she didn’t!). But, she’s never been prescribed a cat food that was specifically designed for her advanced age. Will she take the bait?

Love the video – the ‘are you kidding me, woman?’ look she gives you is priceless. Great to hear she is doing so well on the challenge. We all deserve to be looked after well in our old age!

She’s looking good! I have first hand experience what Royal Canin can do for an older cat. Our old girl lived, and lived well, to the ripe age of 21!
She's a beautiful cat! I'm so glad to hear that she's taking well to her new diet. Royal Canin did wonders for our cats as well. Who knew a simple change in diet could be so beneficial!
I miss having a cat! We unfortunately had to give up my cats when my second son came along. He has bad allergies and was having asthmatic reactions. Food is very important and should be selected carefully. I'm glad you found one so beneficial
What a beautiful cat 🙂 We have one too but she's a frisky one. She has to maintain her "youth" to keep up with my 3 year old! Good-luck with the challenge.
I am glad Aries is looking and feeling better!
Aries is a beauty 🙂 I'm happy to hear that her new diet is agreeing with her!
It is amazing that diet can have such an impact on the appearance and energy level of your cat! Wonderful testimonial for Royal Canin.
Happy to hear your kitty is doing so well on the new diet! Link up on the Pet Parade! http://www.rascalandrocco.com/2013/09/pet-parade-6.html

Dear Jason,
21 years, that’s impressive! Aries really loved her Royal Canin, you could tell she was so much happier. Unfortunately, she passed away in January just shy of 18 years http://www.journeysofthezoo.com/2014/01/death-of-a-pet-aries.html.
Besos, Sarah
