Just wanted to update you on 'Sassy'. She was diagnosed as hyperthyroid and is currently taking medication daily, with a follow-up appointment in 2 weeks.
Thanks, we have an appointment tomorrow at 2 p.m. and I will share the results with you. I have swtiched her to Wellness canned cat food and she enjoys it too.

I meant to add to the above comment................NEVER EVER give a cat with urinary problems dry food please, you will only compound that problem not to mention many others....♥
alien makes some good points.....I'd also like to add it sounds to me like she is simply hungry. ...she is getting quantity NOT quality food and perhaps lacking in the nutrition she needs especially for a senior cat.
Iams is not a good food dear, can foods are a must...but find some with NO grains and NO meat by-products, you will notice a huge difference in the quantity kitty wants and how much more satisfied she will be...
the better cat foods do cost more however I find they don't eat nearly as much when they are satisfied.
try Wellness, Core, EVO, Merrick or Tiki(avail at petco)
these are a few of the best...good luck

One thing that could be wrong is the age difference between the cats.. A senior cat requires more rest less play.. I am sure when you brought the younger ones in she went into depressed mode... Now she is probably telling you she wants peace and quite... Just my guess lol...
Please, before assuming that your cat is not getting enough to eat, take her to the vet first to rule out the other conditions.
Take care!
