Sometimes older cats lose their sense of smell. If they can't smell their food, they don't want to eat it. Sometimes switching to a real stinky canned cat food helps to "tempt" the interest of the kitty for food.

Also, if kitty's teeth hurt, then kitty won't want to eat. It sometimes helps to switch to a real soft food.

There can be many reasons why an elderly cat doesn't eat.
