After doing well for quite a long time, Persia has been off her feed the
last few days. I've done all sorts of things to entice her. She ate a
little bit FF the day before yesterday and had a couple of bites of her
kibble. But not what she normally eats. She ignored her FF yesterday and
only a few bites of kibble, which I normally hear her snacking on during
the night.

This morning, pretty much nothing. I gave her a vet-prescribed appetite
stimulant. It didn't make any difference. She's just nibbling to please
me when I say "go eat your crunchies, girl!".

She's not pooping much and is drinking a lot more water. From what I've
read it's typical of an elderly cat with kidney disease. She's also lost
some weight.

She has continued sleeping with me, which is sweet. She's still a
bed-hog. But she's also been "talking" to me a lot in the last few
days. It's not an obvious indication she's in pain but I think she's
telling me something. (Don't we all wish we spoke cat?)

I think I'm going to have to say goodbye to my beloved Persia. Maybe
tomorrow or the next day, unless things change overnight.

Purrs are requested. This will absolutely break my heart.

I didn't go on the internet yesterday so I didn't see this. I have replied
to the next post you made.
Do not panic. Persia has CRF and up until now she's been eating her renal
food. There's a way to go from there, believe me on this. I am
experienced with CRF and kept my CRF's going for a long time.
