Sorry to hear this, Sonnet. I'll send some good thoughts to the little critter and see you both enveloped in a Light of love and healing.

My sister, Mudcatter "bet," had an older cat who was obese and became diabetic. She did really well for a couple of years. She was the only cat so the feeding was easy and she didn't mind the shots that I know of. My sister was kind of used to it, anyway, as her daughter has been diabetic since early childhood.

It is obvious you trust your vet and love the cat. Just keep sending that love out and it will get sorted out. Either way, you've done your best and the kitty has had a good home with you and that's the best thing we can give them.

kat & the cats, all six of them! And, the border collie, too.
