She's not NOT being pro-active. She is not in stage 4, and she wants to see if the food helps, and if it doesn't enough then fluids.

Not every cat is the same. Treating CRF is not a one size fits all approach.

I know all the arguments for canned food - no need to repeat over and over.

I know they eat meat - no need to repeat over and over.

I also know they are adaptable and if plant protein produces less waste in the blood, then it makes sense to me to feed it to a CRF cat! Though I would not to a non CRF cat.

I don't care if she eats more and wastes more in the litterbox, it's her kidney levels and overall health I care about.

Since there are cats who lived their whole long live on foods like this I don't automatically think it's a crappy as you do.

Obviously if after a month it hasn't helped her and/or she seems in poorer health in other ways I will make another change.

But I would never forgive myself if I did not TRY what the vet says she has seen GOOD results from more often than any other food!
