Ummmmm Shouldn't older cats get less fat? Doesn't this contradict their senior food????

Not sure if they've done the studies in cats, but interestingly I believe I've seen a writeup of human trials where a diet high in fat and protein seemed to help in some cases of dementia. My memory is shaky at the best of times, but I wonder if it had something to do with refurbishing the insulative coat on the neuron axons and dendrites?  (Maybe that diet is something I should try to boost my own memory  )
