Our 20-year-old has CKD and we feed him a prescription food in the morning (Royal Canin Renal Support D) and a non-prescription food in the evening (Forza10 Renal Support paté).

Treats are limited to catnip, cat grass, and the very rare small piece of plain chicken.

What do you feed yours?

    I mean, a 20 year-old cat with kidney failure should be allowed to eat whatever the hell they want, whenever they want. Give them all the love and care you can…

      That’s why he gets the occasional chicken, and doesn’t get scolded when he gets into my husband’s unattended cereal bowl. But we’re not going to actively contribute to the decline of his health. :/

        Yes! The line between adore and hinder is hard to balance.

        Agreed! Hope that didn’t come across badly. I miss my cat and hope you are enjoying your time with yours…

          Aww I’m sorry. We have lost a couple other seniors and we miss them, but Murphy just keeps on keeping on. We definitely spoil him whenever possible. Sure, Murphy, chew on my palm plant.
