My senior cat stopped eating her dry food and was ravenous for the grocery store canned food. Took her to the vet and he diagnosed her with kidney disease. Now she’s on a prescription canned food only diet and has gained a bunch of weight back, but her poops do smell quite a bit worse.
Maybe so? I know one of the main differences with the kidney care diet is that it has much less of the things that kidneys need to filter out, like phosphorus, but increased fat would make sense since they do tend to lose wait.
She’s 16 and doing pretty well so far, so I’m not feeling like her life is being cut too short. Thank you for the condolences.

I bet (idk) both reasons are for increased fat content? My former food has low fat content, this one has high.
I’m sorry to hear about your kitty :( so sad that kidney disease is common for our babies
