She lived 20 years because you loved her so well. I’m facing a similar situation with my cat I’ve had for 7. He was mature when I got him, but don’t know how old. His eating slowed down over the last month but the last week it’s all but stopped. The vet minimally helpful last week and I see my boy rapidly deteriorating... | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Hi there, I feel for you reading your story. Yes extremely hard knowing what to do. I feel for you as you always think to yourself "did I do the right thing?" I've had 4 cats so far I've put to sleep and every time I think "was it right?" But yes it was. I have a 17 year old cat that has stage 2 ckd and is going throug... | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
It’s the worst thing seeing them slowly deteriorate. Kiara was the same. This photo I took just 8 months ago. She was 100% healthy and happy. Yesterday when she was put down she was just skin and bone. Her eyes were sunken, her mouth was dry and thin. It was horrible. I tried my very best to keep her fat and active.

My cat was newly diagnosed with kidney disease on Wednesday and his levels decreased quite a bit after a day or so on IV fluids but I still am unsure on his prognosis aside from the vet saying she is “hopeful for a few more months or years.” Can anyone offer any insight on this blood work? (BUN 66 is Friday, BUN 122 We... | r/renalcats | post | r/RenalCats | 2024-03-08 |
I would also recommend urinalysis.
SDMA is much more relevant for CKD - and is high.
According to IRIS staging he is has CKD stage 2. If well managed he can have a normal life for years.

Is giving subcutaneous fluids to him at home an option? It is pretty easy to do once you get the hang of it. One of my cats that has since passed lived an additional about 2 years once he got diagnosed, and I am giving fluids to two kitties currently. One was diagnosed June of last year and one just got diagnosed. It ... | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |

Sorry for your loss | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Dealing with sick cats is an emotional toll. I never realized how much it was until my old girl crossed the bridge and there was no more constant worry.
I'm sorry for your loss. \*hugs\* | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
The same thing happened to me, my senior kitty was vomiting every day and the vet seemed to think it was her kidneys even though her values weren’t that bad, it sent me down such a rabbit hole in which I felt completely unsupported by my vet and the office wouldn’t even respond when I would leave messages about her nau... | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
So sorry for your loss just remember she will always be with you. It's never an easy decision but it's one we have to make out of love for our precious fur babies. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. :( We still love our veterinarian and with her lab values the way they were, it really did look like renal failure. But it also looked like her liver was out of whack...something we really should have thought about. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
You're exactly correct. We lost my soulmate cat in January to congestive heart failure (I am still recovering from this...) and now our other baby. We are all so tired. Heartbroken that it had to be this way, but in some ways very relieved the fight is over. It's the compassionate choice for her but also by extension... | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Hi! My boy, Mac (8) was just diagnosed as with renal disease. I’m switching him to a kidney function diet and doing weekly sub-q fluids.
My only problem is I have two cats at home and have always done free feeding, refilling their bowls as they empty. They haven’t been happy with me switching to scheduled feedings or ... | r/renalcats | post | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
I use meowspaces for my cats: https://meowspace.biz | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Microchip feeders could work but they aren’t foolproof. I have two cats also, but my non-CKD cat can’t be free fed and always thinks she is starving. She learned how to bully my CKD cat into opening his feeder, then she would crowd him out and eat his food. I had to put his microchip feeder behind a microchip pet door ... | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Ahaha I could see my girl doing that. My CKD boy likes to hang in the bedroom, so maybe I could get a microchip feeder and move into there | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
We have a 22yo with CKD and a healthy 3yo cat. After talking to our vet and trying to separate their food, we went with free feeding them both a CKD diet and it’s worked well. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
Ah okay good to know! Right now I’m thinking of doing this and then giving them each diet specific wet food to supplement. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
That’s exactly what we do. Luckily they each prefer the wet food specific to their diet, so we can feed them together. Hope it works well for you! | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
Hi!
I’m fostering a 5-year-old cat with stage 1 CKD. The vet at the foster center told me that I’m not required to give her renal food since she is only at stage 1. However, I read online that it’s still a good idea to provide renal food even at this early stage.
Currently, I’m feeding her Royal Canin D (wet food), H... | r/renalcats | post | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Sounds good! | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Personally, I wouldn’t feed renal to a cat on stage 1, especially a 5 year old. The renal foods are lower protein and I worry about muscle wasting if started too early. There is debate on the subject though, so feeding a renal diet now isn’t *wrong*, just not what I would do.
If you plan to continue with renal food, ... | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
I think it depends a lot, does your cat had Proteinuria? If so, I would stick with the renal diet. Alternatively, if you are concerned with the loss of muscle mass, you can discuss with your vet getting a phosphorus binder to feed him normal food.
The problem is not the protein itself, it’s the waste products it gener... | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Said goodbye to my best friend today. We’ve been together for 20 years. I’ve known her for more than half my life and I can’t remember a time where she wasn’t around. I’m completely heartbroken. It hurts so much. I feel empty and lost. But she’s no longer in pain. Thank you my kitty for all the happiness you brought in... | r/renalcats | post | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |

I'm so sorry. She was a beauty. I was going to say that 20 years is a very long life for a cat, but I know it's never long enough. You gave her a wonderful life and she left knowing she was so loved❤️ | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |

Hang in there friend. I'm in the same boat after losing my boy and the house feels empty. Sending love your way, we'll get through this | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Thank you. I feel so empty at the moment. Like it’s unreal. 20 years being here to suddenly not being around. It’s killing me. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Sorry for your loss. The different energy in the house is definitely hard to acknowledge. Everything feel different. It’s so difficult to do the basic things without thinking about how she was involved in them. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Noticing the little things is definitely the hardest part. Unfortunately you don't realize how present they always are until they're gone. Cry it out, it's therapeutic in its own way. We can never replace them but we can move forward. It's what they would want for us | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Wow! That’s incredible. What great memories you two have. A lot of love was grown between you two, feline and human. Animals have such a positive effect on us. I’m sorry for your loss. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Such a gorgeous baby. Rest in peace.
You did every thing you could. In her times of health and in her times of illness, to make her happy, safe and loved. The very purpose of life is to love, and you both loved each other oh so very much. Every moment, every cuddle - how much joy you gave each other!

I’m sorry. 20 years is an incredibly long time for a cat, and you gave her everything you possibly could. But I lost mine a week ago, and I know how hard it is.

Allow yourself some time to grieve. Then remember that there's a little girl kitten somewhere, seeking her loving nurturing forever home. Although she probably won't be able to fully replace your beloved little kitty, you'll soon realize and find out, that you really need her, at least as much as she needs you.
