He is a cute cat.
My Coco is only 6.4 pounds now and used to weigh over 10.
I love black cats also.
I hope he does better.

I have heard quite a bit bout raw food diets (meat) and will look into it more. I have not looked at the ingredients of the hills KD, in the summer Jack doesn't eat a whole lot of cat food as he catches so many mice, I'm not sure if that counts as low protein low phosphorus or notOriginally Posted by lukedown
Since then I have looked into the health of cats and what their proper nutrition is. If you look at the ingredients of the food it has corn, wheat gluten and probably a lot of rice. The first 5 ingredients in food should contain more meat than grain and corn shouldn't even be in cat or dog food. Not very digestible, even to people. Cats are hunters and should be eating meat.

I also talked to my vet about and showed her the websites on Calcitriol. She talked to the senior vet in charge and they were all for trying it out. He is doing so well. If you need the links, PM me.Originally Posted by jackbombay
I'll also ask about the calcitriol tomorrow.
It certainly did well for our kitties...I'm convinced it is why Patrick lived/stayed so stable with his crf numbers, for his almost 4 years post diagnosis.Originally Posted by Duchess15
