@meowmydearest: Replying to @🩷 I just wanted to bounce off your comment with a new video because I think there are a lot of important things to talk about here! While lowering protein has been shown to ease stress on the kidneys during later stages of CKD, it doesn’t outright cause it. Cats are obligate carnivores afterall and designed to eat lots of protein! Along with lack of hydration a big factor in the development of kidney disease is excess phosphorus. Phosphorus is an essential and necessary nutrient found in many things, protein included, but too much is not a good thing, and can lead to kidney issues as well as bladder crystals. Unfortunately fish like tuna contains a lot of it along with some other problematic things which is why many people, including myself, heavily limit the amount of fish our cats eat along with their high moisture diets. Edit: My info re: quail eggs has been corrected! They are NOT nearly as high in phosphorus as I previously thought so I will be incorporating them into Bitsy’s diet as well since there are so many great benefits to them. #catfood #catnutrition #cathealth #catcare #phosphorus #ckdcat #catkidneydisease #whatifeedmycat #caturinaryhealth #struvitecrystals #catdiet #kidneydisease #CKD #catfoodtips #cattips
