My 18 year old cat has kidney disease and if failing?

Kidney Disease
linda b asked:


This past week she is eating less, drinking more and while she uses her kitty litter box she seems to leak urine whereever
she is sitting or laying. Smell isn’t bad since it is so diluted.
Her back legs are weak and I am wondering if it time to let her go.

      SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT. First I would ask myself how is her quality of life. It might be time to let her go. Don’t want her to suffer.

      I have had had the same experience. Let the cat go now. Don’t keep your friend with you when she is suffering. After, be happy to know that she was loved and had a good long life.
