> I lived with a fabulous diabetic kitty for years. He was an indoor cat, so it was relatively easy to control his food intake. When I'd get his insulin out of the fridge, he'd start to drool because he knew that meant food was coming! BTW he lived to a ripe age of 17.

> Currently I have a little girl kitty we got from the pound, name of Psycho. No kidding. This was before I got my dx, even! She follows me around the house dutifully, and loves to play catch with ping pong balls. She lies on her side and catches them with both paws, then throws them away (I say away rather than back at me!!). imagine what she could do with opposing thumbs.

> She's a fine companion.Does her name suit her personality? I think cats make the best companions, especially when you're not feeling well. Well, of course, I'm biased and I have a dog phobia so I couldn't say dogs make the best companions. I'm sure all the dog people will disagree with me though. I wouldn't trade my 2 kitties for anything. They're my children. :D
