    Help with grooming an old arthritic molting cat

    Thank you for the tip. I'll try to introduce those elements to my cat and see if we can get a little better. I started to use a trimmer on the large clumps that I definitely can't comb on her back legs. We can only do 5 to 10 seconds at a time before she really freaks out but I got a bit off...

    I try to brush her very gently and concentrate on places which she doesnt mind as much first while giving her heat pats and scratches on the head.

    Carb diet for cats with kidney disease?

    I read that Kidney disease is quite common in older cats (and humans). I think you are right, vets don't have a good answer to how to treat the cat so they just follow the protocol. I actually used to collect egg shells that I dried and turned into powder in the past for as plant food. Do you...

    Carb diet for cats with kidney disease?

    Thanks for a link I will definitely look into it. When I looked at the ingredient list of Renal food it definitely didn't look right to me.
