👀 I spy Kobe!

When Kobe the tabby cat was first diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, which often proves fatal within a few years of diagnosis, his owner was devastated about the possibility of losing her best friend. But thanks to Texas A&M's new veterinary clinical trial, Kobe and other cats with kidney disease have hope for a long, symptom-free future.
