I know it's a bit of a conundrum to be in to go against the advice of a vet (or 2), but when it comes to prescription diets and the feeding of our feline friends, most vets are out to lunch. ESPECIALLY when renal disease is in the picture. But I think even the most ardent Hill's/Royal Canin/Purina-pushing vet would acknowledge that the most important thing of all is for a cat to EAT. Period. Wasting away is the biggest problem for CRF kitties, and I'm betting that in many of those cases it's due to not liking the crappy food they're being forced to eat. So please re-think the low protein myth and instead start looking into the phosphorus amounts in some of the commercial canned foods. Or consider a phosphorus binder if her blood-work warrants it. Here are some charts showing phosphorus levels:

Is your kitty on any meds or supplements?
