Thanks for the pointer to this super interesting protein (AIM). My interpretation of the literature I read is that the issue in cats who get CKD is fundamentally an issue at the level of the vital force. The IgM antibody bond is tighter than it should be (yes, even in cats who are genetically...

Here's what Sage says: Great questions! Here are concise answers based strictly on our guidelines and examples in the materials you’re studying. Q1. Cat ratios (muscle meat : organ meat : vegetables/fruits) Cats are obligate carnivores and “mostly meat.” BrightHaven often uses no veggies for...
