Recently came accross a friend with a cat suffering from kidney disease, after searching found it is related with phosphorous content in food and not only that but the type of phosphorous, organic versus inorganic.

Thought sharing the info since it is better to work on prevention and it seems not everyone is familiar with it.

According to the article below it can start causing damage really quick.

They found the above by testing with animals BTW. Needless to say that if animals were left in the wild where they belong none of this would be necessary.
