Out of Normal: I love my cats.

January 22, 2003

I love my cats.

Yes, my first 'real' entry will be about my cats.

I have two. A tiny little black girl kitty with green eyes named Cleo, and a huge grey boy kitty with amber eyes named Max. They're both about 4.5 years old, but not related.

Anyway, I took them to the vet on Monday night for their shots/annual checkup. Max weighs almost 23 pounds!!! I got scolded by the vet until she realized how little I actually feed him (Cleo tips the scale at a mere 7.5 pounds). So, it's prescription diet time for Max, since he's diabetes waiting to happen. He seriously looks like a pillow with feet.

And he has a follow-up appointment in 4 months for a weigh-in.

Ahh, the things we do for our pets...

I didn't even know cats could get diabetes. Will he need insulin shots, too?

no, he won't need shots because his blood glucose levels are good for now. But if he continues his weight gain, he probably will develop it.
