    My cat JJ was diagnosed two weeks ago with Chronic Renal Failure and I've been a basket case since. This has to be one of the hardest things for me to watch my cat deal with this disease. He was diagnosed as a diabetic in October and it has been downhill since.  Monday, after being up with him...
