My Kidney Patient - Cosmo

[kimlovescats]

Cosmo looks like a big loverboy! Is he a Maine Coon / mix???? He reminds me of my big sweet guy, Dexter! How old is he? I've never had a kitty DX with kidney disease but I have read that many can live with it for a long time and do very well! Please keep us updated and keep those HANDSOME pics coming!!!

Thanks for all the nice comments. And Cosmo thanks you too. It was nice to see pictures of other kidney kitties. Especially Cosmo's twin (separated at birth?)

Cosmo is a Maine Coon/mix. He's actually from Maine so I just call him a Maine Coon. He is 11 years old. I got him as a kitten.

Thanks again!

My Fluffy - which I tried to post his picture but am having technical problems today can also be Ripley & Cosmo's brother, AND he is a kidney cat too!

Fluffy found us 17 years ago this past spring (doctors said he was an adult, so that makes him....??) he has been nothing but the greatest cat

There must be something about a Maine Coon - nothing, and I mean nothing bothers or upsets this cat. He is even tempered and always the love-bug. He has also been the mother hen to both of his brothers.

I am currently doing SubQ's x 2 a week and he seems to be doing fine, but like us humans, he has good and bad days - today being a bad day

Kidney cats do well, but keep an extra eye on them!
