Scottish Fold cats of different ages need different types of cat food. They need all kinds of nutrients, and minerals are an important part of these. Scottish Fold cats have a higher nutritional demand for minerals; calcium and phosphorus play an important role in bone development.

As Scottish Fold cats age, the calcium and phosphorus content in their food should gradually decrease, especially phosphorus. This is mainly because phosphorus metabolism occurs mainly in the kidneys; as cats get older, the kidneys' ability to metabolize phosphorus declines. If kitten food is fed to older cats over the long term, it can easily cause kidney problems such as kidney failure.

In addition, as Scottish Fold cats age, the sodium content in their food should also decrease. The older a cat gets, the higher its risk of heart disease; sodium ions increase the burden on the heart, so you should buy special cat food for senior cats.

Scottish Fold cats have relatively weak digestive systems. When feeding them, it is best to keep the cat food brand fixed and not change brands easily. Suddenly switching cat food very easily causes diarrhea in Scottish Fold cats. If you must change cat food, do it slowly and pay attention to observation.
