It's so hard when our beloved cats don't understand that this food is what's best for them!  :( It's no use saying that Susan will eat it if she is hungry, because cats haven't read that memo. I agree with Desley that it is better for Susan to eat something, even if it does shorten the time you have with her - quality of life is more important than quantity, IMHO  :hug:

I agree. Susan will eat a few of the dry renal and I'm mixing it with senior biscuits. I'm amazed that so many of the specialist diet foods are unpalatable.  I just feel guilty in case she gets unwell again, but it is better that she eats food that she wants

Lucy has stopped eating renal wet food, but is fine with renal dry food, so she has that for tea, her wet food is a mix of senior and adult, and her numbers are fairly stable. Honestly, I would just feed her what she is happy to eat, yes, renal food is better, but I'd rather them have less time and be happy than make them unhappy forcing food they don't like on them to buy them extra time.

I have tried every type of kidney food fromm Zooplus but Susan will not eat it. She even runs and hides if offered it! The vet says she must eat this  or add the binding agent onto her food. Needless to say I have tried powder and liquid. She is not a lap cat and hates being picked up so I can't administer through her mouth. I've been giving her senior food and look for low protein content .Susan was not well yesterday and the vet gave her an anti nausea jab and I have Olimaprazole for possible inflamed intestine. A new blood test is due on Wednesday. I feel guilty every time I go to the vet as I can't get her to eat the special food. I have a cupboard of the stuff! Any suggestions?

Hi Sootyca,

What a lovely tribute to Sky.  I'm so sorry for your loss it's so hard when these special little souls leave us ... I didn't think the pain ever really goes away it just moves to a quiet corner and emerges less often  :hug:

It's strange how so many of us still come back to Purrs to remember our babies ... testiment to the site and the friends made here.

Take comfort from knowing you did everything and more for Sky and her love for you was clear. 

RIP Sky, play hard at the bridge and know you were loved beyond measure xxx
