Should I spread out my cats meals more?

[terestrife]

My cat Kitty has early kidney issues. I have been feeding her four times a day for years because she loves eating. Shes 13 lbs (her highest weight was 15 lbs.)

Current meal schedule:

2:30 am
4:30 am
2:30 pm
4:30 pm

I clean her bowls when I get home. I add frozen wet food to her feeder when I wake up (6:00 am) and when I get home at 5:00 pm. I need for her not to be hungry in the middle of the night otherwise she will not allow me to sleep (hence the meals at 2:30 am and 4:30 am LOL)

Should I spread out her meals more so she has more water in her system throughout the day? She doesnt really drink water by herself so I add extra water to her food.

Hi
You could try that, and also if you haven't seen this, there might be something that helps, (the baby food soup is a big win in this house !);

I managed to get her to drink water with some tuna juice added to it, but then she would drink the water and ignore her food.

I added extra water to her food and she eats the food slower now. lol But she does finish it.

Maybe I will try giving her the tuna water right before I go to sleep and see if she eats her breakfast okay. She's not used to so much water. lol
