    Increase in water intake

    Hi, Your post drew my attention because my Persian was recently diagnosed with kidney failure. His only symptom at present is increased water intake. He is 12 years old. Since your cat is 8, this may not be the problem...it's my understanding this disease usually appears at ages 10-14...
