Sounds really under weight to me. Did the vet make any comment about her weight? I know it can be very difficult to get CRF cats to eat and maintain a healthy weight, so I am in no way criticising.
Is she getting any other meds other than the prescription diet? Can i ask again what her latest blood values are?
How is she in herself?

She WAS having the Katalax, but we've stopped giving it to her, grooming her really well instead. She won't take the Katalax now so we can't get it in her I think she's bored with it now)
She's purr-fectly her normal self, but a little more lazy in herself (there again her arthritis gets really bad sometimes so she can't get up stairs any more - she either half drags herself upstairs or I carry her up)

I know CRF can cause dramatic weight loss, but I would also recommend a vet re-check as Beauty seems very underweight. Has there been an overall downward trend in her weight or has she been stable at 2KG for some time?

Well, her just having her prescription food makes her weight going down a little, so we are supplementing her diet with senior food (wet and dry, what she will eat), chicken, turkey and tuna.
The vet didn't say anything, we told him what she weighs (weighed her at home)
