My vet has reassured me that Mortimer will be able to lead a more or less normal life and for a normal lifespan (he's 8 now) and has a fairly decent chance of getting off insulin. I've been on a Diabetic Cat list for about a month, and several of the cats on there have their diabetes controlled without insulin -- and diabetes is sometimes is a temporary situation.

Mortimer, too (as are all my cats), was a cat without a home until I gave him one. Sabine came from a broken home and Banjo and Creamsicle were born under a house in Dover, the products of a looooooooong line of ferals. Well, they're the end of the line, as they will produce no litters.
