Early-Stage Chronic Kidney Disease
Kidney function declines gradually and often accompanies subtle signs that may be overlooked.
Moderate Chronic Kidney Disease
Kidney function reduces to a great extent, leading to frequent urination, increased thirst, weight loss and noticeable changes in appetite.
Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease
Significant kidney damage leads to worsening symptoms, including weakness, poor appetite, dehydration and decline in overall health.
Common Signs Of Chronic Kidney Disease In Cats
Early recognition helps in slowing the progression of kidney disease and improves quality of life.
Increased Thirst
Cats with kidney disease often drink significantly more water as declining kidney function affects fluid balance.
Frequent Urination
A major early warning sign; the kidneys lose their capability to concentrate urine, leading to frequent litter box visits.

Weight Loss
Gradual weight loss is common despite normal eating habits due to reduced nutrient utilization and muscle wasting.
Reduced Appetite
Kidney disease may cause nausea and decreased appetite, leading to reduced food intake and further weight loss.
Vomiting
Failing kidneys cannot effectively filter waste from the blood. These toxins (like urea) irritate the gastrointestinal tract and trigger the brain's chemoreceptor trigger zone to cause nausea.
Lethargy & Weakness
Cats affected with kidney disease are less active and sleep more. They show reduced interest in routine activities.
Increased Thirst
Cats with kidney disease often drink significantly more water as declining kidney function affects fluid balance.
