Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 19 years and 3 months old | 9.5 lbs
Hi tony eats a hills kd chicken Rx canned diet. He often gets tired of it and I switch to other kidney diets but when that no longer works I top his food with a little baby food (pic below) and he seems to enjoy the taste and will lick the bowl clean. Is this harmful to add some of this to his kidney diet, protein-wise?? If so ,other suggestions for making kidney food more appetizing? Thx

The most important thing with cats is that they continue to eat, so indulging him occasionally with baby food is okay. You may also try warming his food a little before feeding, adding some low-sodium chicken broth, also increasing his liquid intake, adding just water and making more of a gruel, or some combination.
