This dog doesn’t bite!
Toru Miyazaki gave 11 cats with advanced kidney disease an experimental injection. 15 others didn’t get it. A year later, 9 of the 11 treated cats were alive. Only 3 of the 15 untreated cats survived. He just filed for approval, and the drug fixes a defect only cats have.
Most cats die from one thing: their kidneys fail. By age 10, 4 in 10 cats already have chronic kidney disease, and by age 15, the rate doubles to 8 in 10. Once diagnosed, a cat has about 2 years left.
The reason kidney disease hits cats so hard is a broken protein in their blood. All mammals carry a protein that helps the kidneys clean out waste. In humans and dogs, the protein floats freely and goes to work when the kidneys are in trouble. In cats, it stays stuck to another protein and can’t get loose. So the waste piles up, and the kidneys eventually give out.
Miyazaki originally found the protein in 1999, back when he was at the University of Tokyo. He figured out the cat-specific glitch in 2015. The paper he published in the Veterinary Journal in February laid out the trial. The injection is a working version of the missing protein. His company, the Institute for AIM Medicine, filed the approval paperwork with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture on April 24, 2026. If the review clears, the drug goes on sale in spring 2027.
The 30-year lifespan figure in the tweet is Miyazaki’s own projection of what cats could reach without kidney disease. The trial only ran a year, and the average cat today lives 15. Most die from the same disease this injection treats.
The research almost died in 2020. After running out of funding during COVID, Miyazaki went public. Cat owners across Japan responded by sending in 300 million yen, around 2 million dollars total. He resigned from the University of Tokyo and worked on the drug full time. The treatment in front of regulators today exists because cat lovers refused to let the research die.
caught trepassing in another clans territory in 2003: dude we are so killing you
caught trespassing in another clans territory in 2026: hey dude what's up. we are soooo telling your leader 😹😹😹😹😹
I’m starting to think that people don’t know that $1000 for a fursuit doesn’t mean $1000 profit 😭😭
I have a lot to say about this topic as a self employed fursuit maker with a registered LLC so buckle up!! 😮💨

If you call off sick, you are not leaving your coworkers short staffed. Your boss did that. They refused to hire enough employees, refused to plan for sick days, and refused to account for basic human needs in their calculations. That is not your fault. You deserve sick days.
Ngl, adult friendships require grace. People are very busy. People are healing. People are growing. People are taking time for self care just like you. Less communication isn’t less love. Check in not out.
Love that the guy who threw a boulder at a Seal in Hawaii not only got his ass beat by a local, but that the township also gave the local an award for beating the tourists ass for trying to harm an animal.
Big W for Hawaii
He got beaten up by the locals and was forced to leave Hawaii, got every piece of info about him doxxed and is now receiving a lawsuit of over 50,000 dollars. you really love to see it
