Formerly outdoor cat. Adopted prisoner of two dim Hoomans. Lap dweller. Recovering furniture scratcher. Please send chicken, chicken, and more chicken!
The small hooman took me to vet for my quality of life visit. My acromegaly is causing a belly full of fluid. We agreed I’m suffering so “it is time”. Today is my last day so they are letting me hunt chipmunks. They are sad. They say I am the best boy. I know. #CatsOfTwitter
Bring me some chicken
And my heart will quicken
For tuna or shrimp
I’m willing to pimp
If you substitute cod
I’ll think you’re a sod
If serving up herring
My love will be sparing
SO BRING ME CHICKEN
Or I will act stricken and
IGNORE YOU ALL NIGHT

The small hooman thinks she may cancel “quality of life”appointment with the veterinarian. I can’t speak to her quality of life but after stealing the big hooman’s brioche followed by deck sunning/chipmunk hunting mine is splendid #SundayFunday#CatsOfTwitter
Turns out I have acromegaly causing insulin resistance. Pokes have stopped since blood sugar will always be high. Treatment is $10,000 with no guarantee. My hoomans will just let me enjoy life. No MRI, radiation, hospital. Just insulin. And lots of chicken. #CatsofTwittter
CSA Feline Diabetes day 7: Insulin resistance can occur. Be careful when switching from one type of insulin to another. Buy syringes with the correct calibration in the right size to avoid overdose. #CatsOfTwitter#felinediabetes
CSA for Feline Diabetes day 6:
Persistent high blood sugar can cause neuropathy leading to hindlimb weakness, decreased jumping ability, muscle atrophy, and hock walking. Find a Vet who helps hoomans with home glucose monitoring for insulin dosing. #CatsOfTwitter#felinediabetes
Feline Diabetes CSA day 5:
Rapid weight loss (along with increased thirst and urination) may be a sign of diabetes. See me in CSA day 1 picture #CatsOfTwitter#felinediabetes
