An update. I went to the vet yesterday to pick up a couple of cases of special kidney-friendly food. I took the pastry bag and told them how I fed the cat with it. They were very impressed, and gave me a case of the food as a present for giving them a solution to a problem that is obviously frustrating them. Now they can tell others about how to assistance feed a cat with minor difficulty.
OBTW, my vet didn't recommend euthenasia. They are the sweetest people, and care very much for the animals in their care. I was reading up on CRF on the web, and came across that warning on a couple sites dedicated to CRF. I was shocked as well, and thought I should include it in my post. Cats seem to be pariticularly prone to kidney problems, so you all should know there is a lot of info available.
Kuma ("bear" in Japanese) is doing quite well now, and mostly eating on his own. I will continue to monitor, and intervene if necessary. Gotta love the furry ones that love us unconditionaly!
