Oldies need a little cushion so they don't starve if they get one of the conditions which interfere with eating. Not so much it's hard to haul their weight around, but something between skin and bone.

I always share some of my meat with my kittens (2) and I've learned 2 things, the first one doesn't like anything but ham and tuna sushi. Neither of them will have a third piece. The second one will eat anything, like a hungry homeless cat, but never 3 times. 1 tiny piece for taste, another one IF they ask and they never ask for a third. Also I only give them good things, no spices or soucy stuff (they wouldn't eat it anyway)

I have a cat that will eat sea weed as intensely as if he'd gone a week without food
