A medical doc told me 20yrs ago that ALL ppl should eat like diabetics & thus diabetes will become lowered rates. So, I'm thinking if ALL kitties ate CKD type diets -- even w/ no kidney damage yet evident -- & since kidney failure is a main reason cats die along w/ the other one, cancer -- then maybe we ought be proactive to ALL our kitties prior to the possibility they may get CKD later on?
In my mind it is just proactive eating, as in humans eating more plant-based foods & thus reducing potential for many chronic diseases later in life as they age.
Now of course, cats are obligate carnivores & as such NEED a MEAT only diet. Even fish is now is a no-no for cats, as is ALL dairy. Unsure tho how Goat's milk is ok according to some? Anyone have ideas re all this CKD protective food/diets??
