Slings and Arrows thank you for wanting others to view this video on the kitty ping list.

Some of the scars will be with him the rest of his life. But for all that he has been through he still loves, purrs, and snuggles. In fact if you try to ignore him, he might just nip you to get your attention.

For the kitty ping-list!

Thank you!

A diagnosis of feline diabetes is NOT a death sentence.

I kept my diabetic cat going for many years after diagnosis, with insulin and diet management. He finally died of lymphoma. www.felinediabetes.com

I am in grave danger of being a cat lady. I <3 then all!!!
Yay for you taking in kitty.
Diabetes, FIV, FELV, and many other diseases are NOT automatic reasons to put down a kitty.

Damn mass-market cat food...corn, corn, corn...do cats eat corn in the wild? When is the last time you had to chase cats out of your corn patch? Corn meal to sicken the animals; corn syrup to sicken the humans.

Bastards.

I had a male tabby that went diabetic at ten years of age. The vet said he might get a couple of more years with proper attention, but he lasted 5 more years. He had to be put to sleep at age 15 because his kidneys were failing him. He lasted a lot longer than I expected, about the age of a regular cat without special needs. It was a tuff road with lots of ups and downs, but my buddy was worth it.

A www. this takes me back a few years ago when, while caring for my own diabetic, I learned of an elderly, tripod FD kitty in need if a home.

His owner was going to a care facility and couldn’t take him. I fell in love with this brave, tired, kind soul. I got him “off the juice” but after only one short year with him, he developed heart failure and crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

I will never forget my sweet Squeakers ever!

How in the heck does a cat get diabetes? It’s got to be from making them eat that stupid dry food which is Grains. Grains filled with “pet MSG” to make it taste addictive. Ridiculous. Cats eat meat, with a smidge of veggies in there. Cats should not get diabetes. Kibble is abuse.
