Update Senior kitty - cat tree & floppy fish / Doc & Phoebe's feeding system
My senior girl LOVES her kitty tree & is much more sociable now, joining usin living room all day rather than just sleeping in my bed.
She seems more active, even played for a few seconds with a tennis ball! 
She gave us the same, "don't infantalize me" when we showed her Floppy Fish.
I've started trying go encourage her to use the "mice"-shaped dry food puzzles today. I placed it in a bed on the cat tree which has high sides so she doesn't knock it off then my oittie would likely inhale the whole thing. 
I've not yet tried the Japanese Silvervine. Capnip has zero effect on her.
She loves the Evanger's wet food. She has not lost any weight yet, but her coat was visibly much shinier within 2 days of switching to this premium food. Many thanks to the DUer who suggested it!

My girl is perfectly happy to recieve adoration. It would suit her to be petted 24/7.
You might be right about the nutrition, but her positive behavior change was immediate upon completion of tree assembly & me placing her in the (high) hammock.
Thx for sharing!
