Dearest Auntie HiC
Mom, Dad and I, Kat, would like to thank all our friends who offered so many kind words of encouragement about my recent diabetes diagnosis.
I’ve started on insulin for diabetes.
The peeps received a thorough tutorial from vet tech Rebekah, and then Dad practiced by giving me an injection of saline.
Its worth noting, Dad has an intense aversion to needles, & can’t even watch people receiving shots on TV without feeling queasy.
As you’ll see in the video, he was quite nervous first time, & Mom thought he might pass out, but he did great. I didn’t feel a thing! 😹
We both needed to rest a few minutes before starting home. When I got home, I stretched out & fell asleep.
Dr. Renee said I’ll feel much better in a few days❣️
Your Tabby Friend
KAT
HERE is an update post and video

Breaking NEWS
The Cat Blogosphere has within recent days set up a BLOGGER NEWS UPDATES ticker-tape which runs continuously atop the main page.
It came about primarily as a way for all of us to provide up to the minute "news" of our many pet
friends who were being impacted by Hurricane Helene but may have lost their normal communication
channels (social media, blogs, etc.) And now many of those same good friends are in the
path of equally dangerous Hurricane Milton.
We are encouraging all in our pet community to share news you may have of our friends who may not be able to post on regular media. The ticker-tape is and will be updated frequently as information is received.

we hope there are always enough snacks.... hugs to you all ... aaaand so so so many thanks for the sweet card... it feels so good to get such encouraging mail...
ReplyDeleteKat's dad is a hero! I also have a strong aversion to needles and know how brave he was. That sounded like a good pact to have with the primates.

ReplyDeleteAwwwww, that's a brave heart at work! Lucky Kat. YAM xx
He did great. He'll be a pro at giving those shots in no time.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Kat and that his human Dad stepped up for doing this!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Mariette + Kitties
Yay for Kat's dad for getting past his fear of needles! Love your poem with all of the cute orangutans!
ReplyDeleteKat, I'm still trying to decide who is the most brave. You or your dad.
ReplyDeleteKat your dad did a great job. I'm glad he was able to conquer his fear so that he could help you. LOL...at the poem. Me, no - I don't want them behind me. I'd have to be watching them.
ReplyDeleteBravo Dad!!! Yes, that first shot is scary for the humans, the cats don't mind though. I hope you're feeling Kat fine super soon. Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteWe're glad to hear Kat is doing well and that his dad didn't faint while giving him his test shot. Dad's can learn to do a lot when it comes to helping out their beloved pets.
ReplyDeleteGlad Kat is doing well ~ and Dad too ~ lots of hugs,
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Angel Madi ~
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

We are so glad Kat is getting the care he needs..what pawsome parents he has!

The first thing we did today was visit the Cat Blogosphere Ticker tape, and was happy to see a note from S. Praying their damage was minimal.

ReplyDeleteHappy that Kat is being so loved and fantastic job Dad! What a great idea this ticker tape feature. Applauding here and sending hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteHope the insulin helps sweet Kat. That was a fun poem. XO
ReplyDeleteKat, I know you will handle your shots and any other treatments like a champ!
ReplyDeleteKat, your Daddy sure loves you. Parents often say "This will hurt me more than it hurts you" when they spank a kid, but in the case of your shots we think it is literally true.
ReplyDeleteWe hope that Kat will do very well with her injections. After doing one or two, her Dad will be a pro.
ReplyDeleteWe are very thankful for that ticker on the Catblogosphere site. Nice to be able to check on friends.

I used to faint with needles too, but love won out whenever I needed to give my 4 legged babies shots! I know the same has happened with your dad, too, Kat.
ReplyDeleteI went to the Catblogosphere site yesterday and did not see a ticker tape at the top. *sigh* It's pretty much how my week has gone.
You will feel better and it will help. Dansig the Round has been on insulin going on 3 years now, he's doing great.
ReplyDeleteNice poem, I really like it!
Happy that Kat is doing OK. Also think that poem is PERFECT for the photo! We love the new feature on the CB - it's good to know what's happening with everyone in these unsettled weather times!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam and Teddy
