Hi, I have not written in a while. I adopted a cat named Sushi. We are together today for 10 months. I cannot think of my life without him anymore.
He started some new behaviors in the past few months. Now, I have to bend down and pet him when he eats. He will walk away from his food if I do not keep him company whenever he eats. I moved his bowl to where I eat, but that is not good enough anymore unless I pet him as well. When I leave for work and come home, he has eaten, but not as much as he does when I am home.
Another new behavior is when he comes to bed to sleep with me, which is every night, he started kneading on me for a while or the blanket. Just started that a month ago.
Some of you know when I got him that I was given bad news after I had many tests performed on him when he started getting sick a few weeks when I brought him home and found out he was already in third stage of kidney failure. So far, he is eating Renal Dry Food and I also give him light tuna in water since he cannot eat canned cat food. He gets sick on any of the canned cat food, whether natural, without grains, etc. and I have tried them all. For some reason, my canned tuna is fine and he really enjoys the variety. My vet could not find out why but said something in the canned cat food is making him sick. I am willing to steam fresh fish for him, but he doesn't like it. Thank goodness he will eat the Renal.
I stopped getting depressed over his condition. We are both happy. He is bouncy, playful, loving and has become very demanding of my attentions all the time, unless he is napping. He gets in my face and meows at me with a high pitched voice as if he is suffering unless I come over and give him attention. He really makes me laugh. I must admit no one has ever loved me that much.
Wishing all the best and praying that all our fur balls live happy and healthy lives.

). To me, it's a rare privilege, and something to be treasured 
, as well as being gentle on the tummy. It might be worth trying that as an alternative. As he's eating his prescription food with no problems, I wouldn't get too worried or hung up on feeding extras
