Yes, but often as a result of a long diet with chronic dehydration from a kibble based diet.

The moisture cats consume is from their prey. The blood and juices of rodents and birds hydrate cats.

Canned/wet food cats tend to wind up with thyroid issues instead of kidney. (Well, sorta: there's evidence the BPAs in cans and mercury from fish as a reason for that.)

yep, usually the first organ to fail in old cats, so the superpower seems to come with a drawback. edit: removed inaccurate statements

Old age, in and of itself, doesn't kill any living thing. There's always a system failure eventually. Seems like in cats that's commonly kidneys or thyroid.
