In reply to the discussion: We have a 19 year old cat with renal failure (chronic kidney disease). [View all]Warpy
(113,131 posts)17. My cat would eat Fancy Feast tuna with gravy toward the end
and I bought that stuff by the case. She would also get the Fancy Feast broth down, she loved that stuff and whatever they used for flavoring made her thirsty so she'd drink water after it.
She'd always been a kibble kitty, turning her nose up at everything else, until her CKD became severe.
Even at that, she was stable until she developed the big "C" at age 21. When she told me she'd had enough, I took her in for that final set of shots.
I still miss all my furry companions every single day. While I can have a cat whee I'm living now, it's just not practical. I've met a few of the resident dogs. I keep hoping a cat will escape and turn up at my door for a visit.

Sometimes we need to verbalize in order to accept what we know. Moppet sure is a cutie!!!

That's good stuff. As our cats got old and didn't eat well, we'd put a big dab on our finger...
