I don't think so. CRF affects many cats; it's not related to overweight. In fact, my mom's cat who had CRF was skinny her entire life. Chronic dehydration caused by an all-kibble diet can contribute, but cats fed all-canned or raw can get CRF, too.The number one health issue for overweight kitties is chronic renal failure.

Since the conversation was about the health effects of overweight, I kinda figured that she meant that CRF was caused by being fat :dk:. I think we could say that CRF is probably the #1 health issue in all cats, not just fat ones.You may want to read how stephanietx worded her statement, because you think you were arguing against it when you really weren't.
She said renal failure is the number one health issue in overweight cats, not that overweight cats are the only ones to experience renal failure. She didn't said anything about renal failure not being a factor in skinny cats.
Basically, it's like saying heart attacks are the number one killer of overweight humans. Even though many skinny humans have heart attacks as well, that's not part of the conversation since the focus is overweight people.
