i do feed the remaining food to the others, they just have usually finished their own by the time kidney cat is done. could you put the warmed (with water etc) food back in the fridge after? or would you throw it out?
thanks for all your help

Yes you put canned with water added, or warmed in the sink back in the fridge to try again later, if microwaved I'd probably toss it

Is she meowing more than normal? In particular any yowling?

Nice that you could get her in so quick
Did the vet check her blood pressure? Hypertension can also cause restlessness
Hyperthyroid is a possibility, usually the cats are ravenously hungry and loosing weight, but each cat is different and there are always exceptions. The restlessness and wandering around also fits w/hyperT
Little bit of weight gain is good I say for kidney cats, far more common for them to loose too much weight than it is for them to gain even a little.
for good blood results, did the vet take a urine sample for testing?
