Remember I told you that I wasn’t feeling well? It got worse, and my owner started getting worried about my strange behavior and a little annoyed that i started peeing all over the house (something I had not done for about 17 years). Anyway - she took me to the vet (HATE the car ride. HATE the dogs at the vet’s waiting room), and it took him 3 minutes to say he suspects I have diabetes. Then he pricked me with a needle to measure my blood sugar and guess what? The smart vet was right! I HAVE DIABETES !! HELP!
So, we were relieved it wasn’t cancer and that I’m not going to die tomorrow. And we were surprised to know that cats can have diabetes. But, OK. Now we know.
Now my owner has to buy some medicine - insulin, and give me injections every day (we’ll see about that), she also needs to monitor my blood sugar level so we need to visit the vet more often now (ughhh). She bought special diabetes canned food for me (hurray!! canned food), which I like!!
A very exciting day. I think i will go lay down now. I will let you know how it goes. Let me know if you have any questions…

Folks - and cats. These aren’t just some cute sounding sayings. This is the real thing. This is my Bible. This is what I live by and I am pleased to share it with you. Feel free to comment.
- Everything you are seeking you are and very foolishly saying you are not.
- You think you can’t that’s why you can’t. It’s only the thought, “I can’t do it” that stops you from doing it.
- Every place and every situation in life presents an opportunity for growth.
- The best place to grow is right where you are. the best time is now.
- In order to really understand we must experience the knowledge.
- Don’t try to complicate it - it’s too simple.
And my favorite for this week:
There are no problems, only challenges. There is no need to turn your challenges into problems.
I already talked about time in one of my recent posts. Well, the more i think about it the more it becomes clear to me that NOW is really all there is. And that the quality of the now and what we do in it really is what determines the quality of our future. Us cats - we understand that, right? we don’t care about our past or our future, but I see how people don’t get it. They completely disregard the present moment by either crying about the past, fantasizing or worrying about the future or numbing themselves out in the present with television and other addictions. They are alway in a hurry to get somewhere or do something. Which I hate because they don’t stop to pick me up and pet me, and to really appreciate me. Now.
Doing one thing at a time means to be total in what you do, to give it your full attention.
Because, wherever you go there you are. You are here. Always. If people only knew how to let the present be as it is by accepting it totally and letting go of any resistance to it…. well, they would be more cat-like, and probably happier.
