Senior Cat Mousse Grain-Free Beef

Ziggy mousses for cats are unique! They are formulated by veterinarian Dr Géraldine Blanchard, who has specialised in feline nutrition for 25 years. They contain only good ingredients: zero carcass, retextured or reconstituted meat, tendons, cartilage... They are also starch-free, meaning no starchy ingredients at all and therefore very low in carbohydrates, for a happy cat who feels great! All colourings, preservatives, nitrites, and flavour enhancers have been banned from our recipes. And of course, every ingredient is listed on the back of the label, for total transparency.

A cat is considered senior from the age of 8.

Note, however, that this is an average as some cats are more fragile than others. These include pedigree cats, which generally live slightly shorter lives than European cats.

A cat over 8 years old is considered old, but it can still be in good health and remain ‘young’ at heart.

Over the age of 15, however, your little cat falls into the so-called ‘geriatric’ category. This is a rather pejorative name, since a little cat aged 16, 17 or even 20 can still be doing very well.

Absolutely! The recipe for our cat mousses keeps a composition very close to our original wet food, so it will delight their taste buds without changing their habits. As some cats are sensitive to textures, we simply recommend a short food transition over a few days to get them used to it gently.

Our cat mousses have a smooth, chunk-free texture, coated in a delicious sauce. Meanwhile, our pâtés come in the form of a melt-in-the-mouth terrine, with tasty chunks and a light gravy.

From the age of 8, we consider a cat to be a senior cat.

Just like kittens, senior cats need a suitable diet. Over time, our little furry friends become a little more fragile, and their physiological and nutritional needs are no longer the same.

Contrary to popular belief, older cats absolutely do not need a lower protein intake. Quite the opposite! Their food must be rich in protein to maintain their muscle mass.

We generally recommend a diet predominantly based around wet food for several reasons, especially for senior cats:

- Wet food has fewer calories than dry food, but is still very filling! So a cat fed mainly on wet food will be less likely to become overweight or obese, and therefore less likely to develop diabetes.

- Thanks to wet food, his urine will be less concentrated and more diluted, limiting the risk of urinary problems and protecting his kidneys.

Therefore, we advise you to feed your cat a predominantly moist diet.

In Ziggy's case, the wet food is lower in calories, low in minerals, grain-free and starch-free - in short, everything you need to protect your furry friend's health and keep him purring.

We also offer a wet food recipe specially formulated for our little seniors. This recipe contains less phosphorus, premium protein and fatty acids to relieve joint pain.

You can also find our top tips for feeding your senior cat in our guide!

Although starch-free and very low in carbohydrates and minerals, the Ziggy cat mousse rangeis not specifically formulated for cats suffering from medical conditions. We therefore recommend that you seek your veterinarian's advice during a consultation by showing them the detailed composition of our recipes.

You can also find our Ziggy Vet range, which consists of a wet food for diabetic cats, a CKD wet foodfor cats suffering from kidney problems, as well as a urology wet foodfor cats suffering from urinary disorders.

Our dry and wet food are not exclusively intended for neutered adult cats. We have different ranges of products:

💛 For Kittens (up to 12 months):

You'll find wet food and dry food for kittens. These are developed to fully nourish a neutered kitten, but quantities must be adjusted.

😻 For Adult Cats:

You'll find a whole range of wet food for adult cats recipes, as well as dry food for adult cats, for both neutered and intact adult cats.

The wet food for intact adult cats is slightly more caloric than those for neutered adult cats, which is why we specifically design our products this way.

The nutritional needs of adult cats, whether neutered or intact, remain the same. It's only the caloric requirement that drops by 20% after neutering. The idea's simply to adjust the daily portion according to your cat's caloric needs. For this, you can use our Daily Portion Calculator.

💙 For Cats with conditions: We've developed a Vet range to support diabetic cats, cats with renal impairment, or cats suffering from urinary problems. We're working on future products to assist cats with other conditions in their daily lives.

Our recipes have been formulated by Dr Géraldine Blanchard, a veterinary specialising in feline nutrition. Our high-quality wet food is formulated around the most advanced knowledge in feline nutrition.

Ziggy cat food should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from heat and light. Your furry friend will have no problem eating it up to the used-by date you’ll find on the product’s packaging.

Once opened, a wet food tray can be kept in the fridge for 48 hours (preferably in a closed container). Dry food should be kept closed in a cool, dry place once opened. Ideally, dry food should be eaten within 6 to 8 weeks.

Our recipes were formulated by veterinary nutritionist Dr. Géraldine Blanchard, a specialist in feline nutrition. Today, we offer high-quality pâtés and mousses that incorporate the most advanced knowledge in feline nutrition.

- Wet food is lower in calories than dry kibble! A cat fed primarily or exclusively with pâté or mousse sees its risks of being overweight or obese decrease.

- When it makes up at least 75% of a neutered and sedentary cat's diet, wet food reduces the risk of diabetes. Please note that all our pâtés and mousses are starch-free (a major source of carbohydrates) and sugar-free!

- Thanks to wet food, a cat consumes more water than if it were eating kibble and drinking on the side. This leads to increased urine production, with the goal of better limiting the risks of urinary issues.

- At Ziggy, we are not minimalists: essential nutrients are provided in generous quantities, with a magnificent coat as the first visible result.

- Finally, by choosing high-quality wet food, you are investing in your cat's health and saving on veterinary bills.

Cats like to cling to their habits; they don't always like change! For a successful dietary transition, both in terms of digestion and behavior, we recommend incorporating Ziggy's wet food gradually into their diet. If you need personalized nutritional support, you can download our E-book on how to manage a gentle dietary transition.

Here's what we recommend for a successful dry food transition:

Mix a little Ziggy into their usual dry food and serve as normal.

- Day 1: 10% ZIGGY - 90% Usual dry food

- Day 2: 20% ZIGGY - 80% Usual dry food

- Day 3: 30% ZIGGY - 70% Usual dry food& so on!

Once you've reached 100% ZIGGY dry food, wait a few days before starting the wet food transition!

Here's our suggestion for the wet food transition:

- Day 1: Half a teaspoon of ZIGGY's mixed with their usual wet food.

It's really important to mix both thoroughly with a fork to achieve a homogeneous consistency.

- Day 2: One teaspoon of ZIGGY's mixed with their usual wet food.

& So on... you get the idea, the transition should be very gradual 🐢

Your cat's never had wet food? Anything is possible with a little patience!

Start with a teaspoon of Ziggy wet food each day added to a small dry food meal.

Repeat that each day until the wet food gets eaten. Then, gradually increase the amount day by day (while decreasing the amount of dry food available, you don't want your cat to end up on a double portion!).

Don't worry, as long as you stick to a very gradual transition, the (vast) majority of cats love their Ziggy dry food and wet food!
