Hi There,

I'm really sorry to hear about your kitty. My cat, Merlin was diagnosed with CRF about 2 years ago, and we finally had to say goodbye to her last month. She was 15. I know exactly how you must be feeling, and I too started leaving water around the house, letting her on the bed etc. I must have tried everything to make her more comfortable, and subsequently learnt a lot about CRF and different things to try.
I bought a water fountain (Drinkwell) to encourage her to keep drinking - she loved this and was using it almost every hour.
We put her on prescription diet consisting of wet and dry Hills K/d and Royal Canin's Renal food. She was also on Fortekor (for the kidney's) and Seraquin (for her old age)
I worried that she sometimes got constipated and read that canned pumpkin was good for this (an American product) I mixed one spoonful in with her food.
I also read that a 1/4 pill of Pepcid AC (also from America and is prescribed by vets over there) was good to help settle the stomach and encourage her to eat.
Whether or not you want to try any of this is up to you, but I actually have a load of stuff left over which I would like to give to you if you might find it useful? If your cat isn't on the same prescription, then obviously it's not a good idea to use the Fortekor, but I can certainly send you the Pepcid AC and a can of pumpkin if you would like? I am in Teddington so if you would like the food as well you are more than welcome to come and collect it. (There are a lot of cans as I tend to bulk buy!)
