HaydenRose Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 @ironchef I can't believe she is 15!!! OMG! She still looks like a kitten! Honestly, I'm deathly allergic to cats and have developed an insidious hatred for the species, BUT... your cat has instantly converted me. Or maybe I just love your cat and no one else's haha she's so unique! ironchef, KBeee and Zillah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recently moved to a large warehouse loft and my first thought was that I could build kitty-infrastructure like that. I may have to hit the hardware store on the way home. We are ridiculous. Our littlest cat was scared by a bug the other night. His tail went all poofy and my wife and I went rushing over to console him. Over a bug. A small bug. Sigh.

MadeIndelible Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 About to take Luna out on a walk. We slept in until 1:30 today. She always gets really upset when I start a new job. I'll be gone for like 9 hours, and she won't eat when my mom or sister feeds her, or she'll throw up. :( Glad I have the day off today.

polliwog Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Aww, poor girl. (I slept until 1:30 today also...) The babies have finally hatched on the Raven Cam. Not much going on right now, they're just wee pink things. I'm just happy to see they've made it so far. MadeIndelible and SeeSea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeSea Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 This is my boy, Leo. Today is a very important day for Leo - it is his 1 year anniversary for being off insulin. He was diagnosed with diabetes in August 2012 and we started a tight regulation protocol that has a high success rate in "curing" diabetes in cats. Cats are the only creatures that can be cured. The protocol is very intense - shooting higher doses of insulin, testing blood glucose on average 6-8 times a day (ear sticks) and being available to feed different carb amounts of food, and squirting honey when needed during potential hypoglycemic events. The goal is to keep the cat at the bottom end of normal glucose values to let the pancreas heal. If the protocol is started within about 6 months of diagnosis, there is about a 70% success rate. We spent 9 months of hell getting him off the juice. I never slept more than 4 hours in a row, was up multiple times a night testing, sometimes up all night surfing him on honey when his pancreas unexpectedly sputtered out some insulin to compound the insulin I'd just shot into him. We had some scary nail-biting nights, but it was all worth it. He's off insulin and back to being a normal cat. He only eats low carb food, but other than that, we saved a furry little life. Diabetic cats are often put to sleep by owners who don't know their glucose can be regulated and that they can live long lives, even on insulin. Most vets don't know cats can be cured. (BTW - he's an indoor cat now.) KBeee, scubaron, TrixieFaux and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBeee Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 @beez - I love your "Selfie w/dog" :D ...you match!! @Zillah - Your bun pics literally made me exclaim "Oh my god" aloud. @SeeSea - You are an inspirational pet guardian. @TrixieFaux - Tomo-kitty update? This is Mirka the Wonderpup. She is submissive "smiling" because I had just found a chewed up piece of cotton pad that she swiped from the kitchen table while I was out. She started doing it as soon as I saw it. People who say that they don't remember when they were naughty or won't know why you are chastising them are soooo wrong! Sneaky-sneaks!
