Our cat lived to be 22 years old. She was always a bit chunky, but in her last year she lost weight & had trouble digesting. After eating canned cat food she would throw up.
I would maker her chicken soup, she loved it & digested it well. Also, during the last few months of her life I was giving her baby food, like those little jars of chicken or turkey that is pureed. She did well eating these things during her last year or so.
You did really good. 22 is quite a long life for a cat.
Divine Duos is expensive but they seem to like it and having bad teeth isn't an issue because its very high moisture content & almost no bad ingredients for a commercial cat food. Also First Mate - $50 a case on Amazon though but high quality. Hand feed organic human chicken as a snack or puree it and add it to his regular food for extra, quality protein. Try adding organic clam juice to their regular food to make it more appealing. Substitute something like Trader Joe's Alkaline water with electrocytes for the regular water. Mine likes a teaspoon of Turkey Hill Hand made all natural ice cream - laps it up and then goes right to his food dish and eats - like the ice cream gives him the hungries. Try playing with him with catnip then offering food. Always offer first thing when they wake up from sleeping - they will eat instinctually - at least a little. Keep the food and water dishes clean - no detergents - just boiling water & never leave food out so long it spoils.
IBS in cats is an issue that shows up like this. Hungry but loosing weight.
Don't need a $500 CAT scan (no pun intended) to switch to all meat (no carbs) add a probiotic and a b-12 shot. If it gets really bad a round of steroids will reduce inflammation. Catch it early!
