Cat Lovers Rejoice As New Medicine Will Extend Cat Lifespan To 30 Years
Japanese scientists invented a new medicine that could prolong cat's lifespans up to 30 years!
there is a silent threat that affects kitties – chronic kidney disease. It is a complex and irreversible ailment that typically manifests at around 10 years old in cats, affecting an astounding 1 in 3 felines. As cats age, they gradually lose their kidney function, which significantly compromises their quality of life.
Dr. Miyazaki’s breakthrough comes in the form of the “AIM” injection. It’s a medication that has demonstrated an astounding potential to help kitties suffering from chronic kidney disease. The scientist and his team pinpointed the root cause of this treacherous ailment, which paved the way for the development of the injection.
The “AIM” injection is currently in the clinical trial phase and is anticipated to be available by 2025.

The news itself is great, but holy hell is this headline hyperbole. The medicine is a really great treatment and even preventive cure for kidney disease, which is a very common cause of death in old age for cats.
No, this isn't some miraculous treatment that will give all cats a longer lifespan. It's a great cure to a very common cause of death in cats. Not sure where the 30 years figure comes from.

This was very much not hard to find.
Maybe, I've got an older cat I adopted from a shelter, don't know his exact age. But he's in stage 3 of kidney failure and we've got him on the renal diet. I'm excited to read this news and really hope my boy can stay alive long enough to receive this treatment.
I've got a kitty with a history of urinary problems so I'm pretty stoked to hear these details.
