I have just found out as of December 21, 2011. That my cat CJ age 12 is in stage 3 renal failure. A cat is a senior by age 8. If you have a older cat have blood work done. If there is any issues you can start treatment sooner.

Thank you for sharing this information. How is CJ?

CJ is doing fine at this time. My vet has her on special cat food and meds. She got 2 to 3 more years of good time left. My friend Edward and his wife Debby have a cat name buttons. Buttons is about 18 years old. Buttons has kidney failure and cancer. I was at there home last nite. Buttons is in very bad shape. There vet has done all he can for buttons. Edward and Debby will put buttons to sleep later thist week.

CJ, Thanks for posting this. I have a 12 year old cat and will get him checked.

I am happy you taking your cat for a check up. When a cat starts kidney failure. Your cat
may not shows any sign of being sick. My cat CJ lost some weight. I found out my cat was kidney failure when I took her to the vet to have her teeth cleaned. He took a blood test to check if she could be put under for surgery. The test come back and that when I found out she had stage 3 kidney faliure. I now wish I had done this 2 years ago.
My best friend Edward and his wife Debby lost there cat buttons Monday, January 16, 2012. Buttons passed away at 11:15 AM. Buttons was 18. May he rest in peace.

That is a very old age! I had a cat that was 20.. but that is rare. I wish all cats could live such long lives. I'm sure they will him him very very much.

Edward and Debby miss buttons. But there dog and there second cat miss him. They went around the house for two weeks looking for buttons.
