Babysitting my mom’s three cats. She left a box of Churu. They like them a lot. I was surprised. I thought it was just a few rare internet videos I have watched. Cats really like this.

Can you do subQ fluids at home? That, plus a low phosphorus diet, can really help! Tanya's feline CRF page has a lot of good info on it.

I started with subcutaneous but after some time it wasn't putting a dent on creatinine levels so I went to intravenous once a week, but then he developed phlebitis, so I changed to once every two weeks and alternating between front and back legs (he is not dehydrated btw). He won't eat anything but Churu now, and I will never introduce another cat to Churu because they go crazy and then you can't give anything else lol - I tried cheaper local brands, other cats absolutely loved when he didn't even try so I gave it to them :P
I have another cat with kidney problems and she is on a low phosphorus diet already, but him? He doesn't even try to taste it

It looks like you've got a really good handle on his issues then - I wish all of you long, healthy and happy lives together :)
