Please pray for my Grandma kitty

I wish your vet could meet my vet. Mac is a senior kitizen (15) and he takes those thyroid pills, too. The last time he was checked, his kidney were pretty good. That might have changed, but for now, he's doing pretty giood for an old guy!
Anyway, when I asked my vet what kind of diet he should be on she told me that at his age, anything he wanted and would eat. She said that older cats especially should eat regularly and if they won't eat the "good-for-them" food, then feed them what they like. Grandma is more likely to live longer if she eats "the bad stuff" regularly than if she eats nothing at all! When our kitties get a certain age, it is sometimes best just to love them and keep them happy.

I agree. Feed dear Grandma what she wants to eat and enjoys eating. I doubt that the KD is going to make that much difference at her age, even if she did like to eat it.

I'm appalled the vet would suggest to let her starve for 2-3 days. No, give her anything she likes, and lots of extra loving. I'm sending kisses to your sweet girl.

As far as I'm concerned, any senior kitty deserves any food he/she wants and likes and lots of it. Well, in fact I believe that's the same for senior hoomans too! Grandma has had one of the best Meowmies and I know that you will make sure she is happy for whatever time she has left.
Love you
