My wonderful sweet old cat Jarvis was recently diagnosed with feline diabetes. I started doing tons of research (see signature) and following the vets insturctions. Today was a 2 week check up and it appears that I will be able control his diabetes with diet alone. Only about 30% of cats with diabetes can be diet controlled!

Anyway I just was excited and thought I'd share!

So sad ... so he gets the meat and you get the carbs? ;)

Sorry about your cat, Liz. We have 4 of those wonderful beings ... and we love them dearly. About cat diabetes: it is not only the food - it also the excersize ... he needs to burn fat and carbs. climbing, jumping, moving. I hope he loves that ... OTOH: playing around with them in vigorous play helps a lot.
BTW, here are our cats. I know, the site is in Swedish, but the pics say more than a thousand words ... ;)

Cute kittahs. What does a meow in Swedish sound like?

Oh, and I can't believe my wife is surprised that the cats diabetes can be controlled by diet. Food controls ALL of our cats!!!

LOL I found your Gästbok!!! Aren't I clever?

Also our kitteh's have a a GIANT jungle gym to play on, and they do. The evil orange one also likes to bite the other 2 cats on the rump to instigate chases. And we bought a really thick wand toy that moves a little slower for the old gentleman (Jarvis) to swat.

Sounds really nice! :)
Yes, you are! :D
Yeah, we bread them - not many (one litter each second year and for one cat only) and we do it for the cuteness and the fun - not like others - for profit and yes, Queenie is a champion, and one certificate away from International Champion. ... We are expecting kittens in about 5 - 6 weeks ... :)

OH, BTW, TGIF!

heh

I've got dog friends now.

A cat and I lived with each other for about 21 years.
Her name was Brynne.
None other like her.

My Boxers keep me busy now. ;)

What a wonderful Sunday it has been. :colbert: <I really miss the sun smiley!>
Only -1ºC during the day - now it is just past sunset and already -6ºC. Colder will it be ...
But the snow ... skiing ... dug out the BBQ, but did not have enough energy to get it going ... :(

Life is just great. :biggrin:

My Boxers love BBQ too.
Regular store type sauce gives our white Boxer hives.
The one with no HFCS and also home made sauce does not give her hives.
Boxers are know to be intolerant of corn, perhaps the HFCS intensifies the reaction?

Monday morning - after a good week end, before a new new week with challenges ...
Interesting mix of cats, dogs, BBQ, greetings and neffing ...

I miss PCTC2 though - but assume that he has hands full of school and fianc&#233;e ... ;)
