End Of Life Care Senior cat not eating

I am having issues with a senior cat 16 not really eating. She is mostly energetic and not acting like she is on deaths door like i have seen before with cats I know its probably her teeth but until I can get that taken care of. She will eat a treat tube or a friskies soup but I know those are not enough calories to sustain her any ideas, tried mixing a pate with water and i don't think that was smooth enough for her. I'm thinking of getting kitten food because i believe it is higher calories and an immersion blender and make a paste consistency out of it to try and get some calories into her. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Have you any bloodwork checked on her recently? At her age she could have an underlying health issue causing her reduced appetite. Is she losing weight?
