if your cat is already in kidney failure there is little u can do. clear liquids only, but kindest to put to sleep. to prevent this from happening, make sure cat, especially male, has plenty of water this can be encouraged by having running water, like leave faucet running slightly and show cat. also, feed canned food more then dry, as ash content is lower.

What is wrong id my cat Reptar has been throwing up a lot lately like within the past two weeks?

My cat used to throw up a lot as well. He has a kidney problem and the toxicity in his system was causing him to throw up. If your cat is younger than this is not likely the case but if he is an older cat it is possible he might have kidney problems. It is very common in older cats. Cats live in a dehydrated state most of their lives and it is only when they are older that it catches up with them.

What if your older cat is on special vet food will it be harmful if your 1 yr old cat eats it too?

Is the food KD Feline Prescription Cat Food? If so, then your other cat can eat it occasionally. KD has a lower protein content than other cat foods, which is good for older cats with kidney problems and such. Since it has a lower protein content, it should not constitute your other cat's entire diet. But occasionally feeding it to both cats is not a problem. If it's not KD you're talking about, then ask the question again, this time with the name of the food included in the question.

Why does your older cat attack the younger ones now that they are four months old?
