We had to let Chappie pass over on Tuesday night after battling stage four kidney failure. It has been a crying time around here.
Last night my wife and I decided to adopt a 7 year old cat we saw at PetSmart, named Romeo. They are doing the paperwork now and we may get him in several days. I want to do whatever I can to minimize any kidney problems, so . . .
1) what has the medical field suggested: dry or wet food? Any thoughts on what minimizes renal disease, something that 1/3 of cats will develop.
2) I have no idea if he’s a scratcher or not, but he hasn’t been declawed, so I’m wondering if people here are believers in the nail caps (Soft Claws w/ CLS) or not.
