I know what your going through. I also had a cat that needed insulin twice daily. The worst part was that my wife named the cat "Baby Monster". Whenever I needed a refill on the insulin I got it filled at the local Walgreen's. When the Rx was ready they would call out "prescription ready for Baby Monster Chisholm", needless to say I got some very strange looks. My wifes favorite thing was to watch me chasing the cat around the house naked with a needle in one hand while I was getting ready for work every morning. The cat lived for another three years and hated that needle. Good Luck!

My now 13 year old cat was diagnosed with Diabetes about a year and a half ago. It was interesting (to say the least) and expensive in the beginning but once we all got the routine down it's mostly been a non-issue. The cat doesn't mind the shots and even I've gotten used to giving them to him.

My sister and brother-in-law gave insulin shots to one of their cats for 8 years until she died last year at age 19.

Now, my question is who has the pet food concession in your area? I think I may want to buy in on it.

Thank you. We need more folks out there willing to be rescuers.
