Anything not designed to address his crystal-formation issues (like tuna, chicken, etc) is problematic from what I think I remember from the vet...the RX food must be given as the only food source to keep things in line.

Re: Ideas for an old skinny cat with urine crystals
Ask your vet about appetite stimulant medicine options. My girl needed that at about age 16.5 and she was on a very restricted diet. It helped a lot up until the things she was on a really restricted diet for finally drew a line in the sand for us and we put her down at about 17.5 years old.
