Its actually not the protein you need to worry about it's the level of phosphorus. I have done a ton of research on kidney failure because my cat has it and recent studies have shown the protien levels make very little difference in the amount of work the kidney are doing. As long as you are feeding a good high quality protein, are keeping an eye on phosphorus and calcium levels. Unless your cat has a history or levels close to kidneys issues I don't think you need to worry about it.
