One wet food for two Bengals, different ages

Two Bengals at different life stages — that's actually a manageable situation because Bengals at both ages share the same core nutritional priorities: high animal protein, low carbs, and good hydration. The tricky part is that your 8-year-old may benefit from slightly lighter portions and joint-supporting nutrients, while your 2-year-old is still burning energy fast. Before I point you to one food that can genuinely work for both, can you tell me: is the older one in good health, or are there any issues — kidney, weight, digestion? And are you currently feeding them together or separately?

That kidney history is the key detail here. Even with clean bloods, it's worth keeping Remy on a food that's low in phosphorus and high in moisture long-term — that's just sensible maintenance. The good news is that's also exactly what your younger one needs. High-quality wet food with a short ingredient list, mostly whole fish or meat, no fillers. One thing I'd avoid for Remy specifically is anything with added minerals or 'complete' formulas that push phosphorus higher than necessary. Does that make sense, and is budget a factor in how much you're feeding both cats?

In that case, my clear recommendation is Applaws Tuna Fillet in Broth — the multipack tins available on Amazon UK. Here's why it works well for both cats: it's around 75% tuna, essentially nothing else except a little seaweed, which means very low phosphorus, no artificial additives, and high natural moisture. That's ideal for Remy's kidney maintenance. For your 2-year-old, the high protein content keeps them satisfied and matches the kind of diet Bengals thrive on. It's not a complete food on its own, so you'd ideally mix it with a small amount of a complete dry or rotate with a complete wet, but as the main wet food in their diet it's excellent. Buys well in bulk too — the 24-tin packs bring the cost right down. The broth also means both cats are getting extra hydration without even trying, which is one of the biggest wins you can give a cat eating wet.

It's a fair question and worth being clear on. Applaws in broth is a complementary food, so it doesn't hit every micronutrient target on its own. The simplest fix is to either rotate it with a complete wet food a few times a week — something like Lily's Kitchen Complete Wet Cat Food works well alongside it — or offer a small amount of a high-quality complete dry food as part of their daily intake. Given Remy's kidney history I'd lean toward keeping the dry food minimal and prioritising wet, but a small amount of a low-phosphorus dry won't cause problems. What you want to avoid is feeding Applaws exclusively with nothing else for months on end. Used as the anchor of a varied wet diet, it's genuinely one of the better options available at that price point.

That's exactly the right approach. Keep an eye on Remy's weight over the next couple of months — older cats can quietly lose muscle mass even when they seem fine, and if you notice that, it's worth asking your vet about adding a complete senior wet food more regularly. But as a starting setup, you're in good shape. Both cats should do well on it.
