Question One of my cats,18 1/2 yrs old,was diagnosed with renal failure in Dec. 2007. I gave her the KD canned food but she began to vomit it up after feeding. I started making cat food -white rice,chicken, one hardboiled egg ( with shell) and water. Are there other recipes for homemade renal cat food? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Answer Follow up : Hi Jennifer, did you try the recipes for the CRF in your cat? I know the K/D canned food smells awful...
For cats the top priority is WATER intake in the food...That is why WET foods or home cooked is better than dry food..
LET me know if I can help...

4 cups cooked white rice
4 eggs
2 tablespoons cold-pressed safflower, soy or corn oil
1,500 milligrams calcium
1/8 teaspoon iodized salt
1/8 teaspoon potassium chloride (optional , for a saltier flavor)
1 teaspoon parsley, finely grated carrot or other vegetable (optional)
5,000 IU vitamin A
Taurine and other cat vitamins (about 5 days' worth) ( NUVET for CATS is an option - see below)
50 milligram level B complex (or 10 milligrams per day)
2,500 milligrams vitamin C (½ teaspoon sodium ascorbate)
Mix everything together in a large bowl. Serve raw if the cat will accept it. Otherwise, mix all but the vitamins together, bake about 20 minutes in a moderate oven and then wait until it cools to mix in the vitamins. Occasionally, substitute 1 to 3 teaspoons of liver for part of the meat.
