    I really hope the food will help to keep the disease at bay a little longer. Like we talked about before, few cats like renal diets, and as you mentioned, it's better to give them something they like, rather than not eating at all. Perhaps mix the renal diet with something she likes - if it's dry food.

    And thanks for the link you posted earlier.

    Thank you, Pat and Randi! Lots of purrs from Miss Kitty.
    I got the dry version of the early care as well, because Miss Kitty likes her kibble. I think that helps, too, to get her to eat the wet food. And I use it for treats.

    My vet passed on a tip to get Oscar to eat his urinary food. She said to shake a small bit of parmesan cheese on it.

    So I let Oscar eat what he will then gently tap a light sprinkling of parmesan over the rest. It works!

    It's so great you found Miss Kitty a food that she likes! She'll be with you for a long time yet.

    That's a good idea, I keep that in mind as plan B. Right now, I'm cheating with Fortiflora (a probiotic). I call it a "flavor package", and it has helped me many times to get the kitties to eat what they were supposed to.
    If they ever get tired of it, parmesan cheese will be next.
    Miss Kitty's previous kidney diet was apparently so bad that the probiotic could not mask the flavor. I bet the cheese would have helped.
