Hi Kathy1 and welcome to the finest kitty group ever. So, you are embarking on the kidney disease road. I am new at that health issue also. It is quite involved but treated, can help a kitty be happy for a long time. Being new, I cannot give you advice myself and there are many weathered kitty owners here that will have great suggestions for you. I just want to wish you a hearty welcome for today and hope you'll be coming here often ... whateveri am new here because my cat was diagnosed with kidney disease and wanted to get some answers on how to help him. already took him to the vet last week.
