Welcome

Our story began just over three years ago. My wife noticed that our 14-year-old Calico, Michou, was going over to her water bowl more frequently and drinking often. My wife also just had a feeling that something was different about Michou's behavior.

We waited a few days and then saw the vet. They took blood tests and within a day we were back for the results: Her blood tests showed a creatinine level of 4.38 mg/dl. Creatinine is a waste product that is excreted through the kidneys. A normal creatinine reading would be between 0.6-2.4 mg/dl.

Michou's "BUN" levels (blood urea nitrogen) was 31. BUN is another waste product excreted through the kidneys. A normal reading would be in the 14 mg/dl range.

These high readings show up when a cat's kidneys are nearly 70% destroyed. Michou had severe kidney failure. The vet estimated that she only had about 25% of the function left in her kidneys.

We asked what we could do. The staff gave us a sad and "understanding" look, as if to say, "There isn't much you can do. Prepare for the inevitable."

Well I'm here to tell you that there is a lot you can do.

It has been 3 ½ years since that day and I'm happy to say that we have enjoyed many wonderful moments with our little Michou. She is now 17 ½ years old. And although she is nearly 100 years old in human years, she still does many of her old familiar activities: wander outside into our fenced-in back yard to nibble on grass and relax in the sun; sleep next to us at night with her head on a pillow; and meow loudly when she wants food or to be gently lifted onto a chair.

We love her and are so grateful to those who have helped us keep her going.

It is my hope that the information in this website can help you enjoy many more years together with your little cat, too. There are many things you can do to help a cat even with a highly compromised kidneys enjoy the life and love you have to give. Here's how...
