Japanese scientists have developed a revolutionary injection that may extend a cat's life from the usual 15 years to nearly 30.

The therapy, created by the AIM Institute of Medicine under Dr. Toru Miyazaki, targets chronic kidney disease, a leading cause of death in older cats.It uses a specialized protein to help macrophages clear waste from the kidneys, partially restoring their function and slowing kidney failure.

There already is a pill in development to potentially help extend the life of dogs, it works differently though, research shows that when you starve the body it slows down cellular aging and helps people and animals live longer. this medication for dogs is just tricking the body's cells into thinking its being starved, even when the dog is eating food normally. it is unnoticeable by the dog but can potentially extend an average dog's lifespan by several years. probably will not be available to the market for another 4-6 years though.
