A Japanese scientist has figured out how to extend the life of cats (9 photos)

We would all like our beloved pets to live as long as possible. A Japanese scientist recently developed a method that can extend the life of cats to 30 years.





Cats are wonderful creatures. Of course, they can ruin the sofa with their claws or eat your favorite plant, but all this fades into the background when your furbaby settles down on your lap and purrs. They say cats have nine lives - but even if this is true, felines have a common health problem - chronic kidney disease. It usually appears in cats around 10 years of age, affecting an astonishing 1 in 3 felines. As cats age, their kidney function can decline, significantly reducing their quality of life. Currently, the average life expectancy of cats is about 15 years. But many owners would like their pets to live longer.



A Japanese scientist named Miyazaki also wants cats to live as long as possible. A solution he recently unveiled could double a cat's lifespan. This is an AIM injection that has shown amazing potential in treating cats suffering from chronic kidney disease. It has the potential to “revolutionize” feline healthcare: even cats who were thought to have only a week to live had positive results after the injection. The scientist and his team identified the root cause of the insidious disease, which marked the beginning of the development of the injection. AIM is currently in clinical trials and is expected to be commercially available in 2025.





The drug is unique in that it will help not only in the treatment, but also in the prevention of chronic kidney diseases: it can both extend a cat’s life span and improve its quality. Dr. Miyazaki intends to make the medicine affordable so that every owner can afford to purchase it. The doctor's research on the topic of extending the life of cats has been ongoing for more than three years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, funding for this research stopped, but ordinary people made donations to keep it going. We are waiting for the cats to live longer!
