Hiya KT,

This is our 15 year old girl Stinky, she is a long haired cream colored tabby.  On June 5th, she got diagnosed with diabetes.  It has been a long hard learning curve.  Expensive food which she won't eat, had to switch to fancy feast.  No dry food which doesn't bother her, but we have had to switch treats to freeze dried chicken and liver.  They do freeze dried minnows but that was a hard no for both our cats.  The dogs however, love the fish potato chips as I call them. 

We tried a libre meter on her and she managed to bite and break it after only 20 hours, I included a picture.  That was a bit of cash down the drain.  I have been having to manually test her blood glucose by pricking her ear.  She is getting used to it.  She got a UTI as well which is typical for diabetic cats.  She is not a fan of the bubble gum flavored antibiotics, if anyone in the horde is a drug manufacturer I definitely think there is a market for tuna flavored antibiotics. 

All in all we are getting used to the new routine and giving shots twice a day.  If anyone has any advice I would be happy to know what worked for them and their cat.

Stinky is a beautiful cat. Hope someone has some suggestions to help with her diabetes control.

My daughter took her her boyfriend's dog Bronco for a walk this week. Heat index was 100. Typical for July temps in central Iowa (it's the humidity). Bronco understood the assignment.

Hello,
Meet Chloe, a 2-year-old purebred Bengal kitty.

Last week I received an urgent message from an Undercover Resistance Operative deep within the Worst State in the Union (TN, according to CNBC). She informed me that she had discovered a Bengal kitty who needed rescuing from the cruel, tyrannical master who smothered her with affection and abundant resources (he's actually a very nice man who wants the best for Chloe).

Watching the video smuggled out of enemy territory of a damsel in distress, I knew what I had to do.

I summoned my covert team of crack commando squirrels. Together, we made the long, harrowing trek across three states, dodging rogue drivers who think they are playing Spy Hunter, as well as penetrating the various layers of road construction hindering all attempts at infiltration.

We successfully found the gated fortress where our damsel in distress was being housed. Our Undercover Resistance Operative smuggled us in using the gate code she had cleverly wrangled from her employer, Chloe's owner.

She also helped us exfiltrate not only Chloe but also much of her necessary life support system (food, water, litterbox, etc.). Although caught in our exfiltration efforts, we managed to distract her owner with pleasant chit-chat about Chloe's life and needs. As I said, he's a very nice man but simply couldn't keep her anymore.

Once Chloe was loaded up in our getaway vehicle, my crack squad proceeded to exit the city of Nashville, Tennessee (the Worst State in the Union). Not even the twisty maze of complex roads, nor the ongoing road construction efforts could stop us from our task. Chloe's beautiful coat of fur allowed her to blend into the interior of her cat carrier, making it appear empty from a distance, in case we were stopped.

As soon as we crossed the Mississippi River into the St. Louis area, I breathed a huge sigh of relief, knowing that our mission was now successful. She will now grow up in the SEVENTH Worst State of the Union instead of the first.

Chloe is a beautiful, sweet kitty. I look forward to integrating her into my household. As I'm writing this message, Chloe is sleeping peacefully in my sunroom, exhausted from her long adventure.

Chloe is certainly lovely, and has been through an adventure!
