He's 16 and eats Purina vitality formala dry. Sometimes I will give him wet food but not that often

What is his diet? Often, cats who don't get enough linoleic acid get "flaky" -- and/or an oil deficiency in the diet can contribute. Linatone or Gold Caps (both available at better "pet" supply stores and online) can help; so can supplements like NutriCal. Make sure he's getting a very high-quality diet, and of course, you comb and brush him regularly?

I suggest adding some wet food ... Please do a search about Quality and cat foods... your feeding a low quality one....you can try oil but a better food will be cheaper
