Howdy Y'all!

Devo is out sugar baby. He's a former feral we caught & tamed, along with his sisters Izzy & Keewe. We also have a really chubby rescue, Bandit, and two foster cats Remmy & Ziggy. The lone canine is a 120# "Mastador", who is mildly scared of the cats. We also have three pet chickens who literally rule the entire roost.

Devo was diagnosed 9/1/2015 and has been OTJ for 4 days now. We test morning and night. After diagnoses we switched him from dry kibble to pate only. Except for when he puts on his kitty ninja suit and sneaks into Bandit's kibble, but we are working on getting Bandit off of his carb addiction.

ETA: When needed, Devo receives ProZinc.

In advance, nice to meet y'all!

 

Welcome. Yu seem to be doing everything right.

 

Hi Angie, wow you have quite a brood! It's great that you got Devo OTJ so quickly. As Larry says, you seem to be doing everything right! It's wonderful that you've taken the time to tame ferals. I've done that a few times myself and I know it takes a lot of time and patience. If you have any questions, please ask. There's a lot of feline knowledge around here!

And here I thought that Whisper was the only one with a Kitty Ninja Suit for clandestine kibble activities!

It sounds like you have done a great job, and by the "y'all", it also sounds like you must be in my corner of the country

BJM gave you all the great technical stuff, but I'll add that we'd all love to see a pic of Devo.

Nice to meet you and the crew, Angie. I'm Sandi. I'm new-ish and can't help with much technical diabetes stuff, I leave that for the experts, but I try to be around with general cat questions. We have a clowder of six right now (only one is diabetic).

Fingers and paws crossed that you keep on the great path that you are on now!

 

Thanks for the friendly welcome!

I don't have a spreadsheet. I know I need to fix that but found an app that I really like, does reports, etc.

Sandi I'm in a 'burb of Dallas.

Checking how my signature looks.

 

Hi Angie and welcome to you and gang. Yes, you are doing something right to get Devo OTJ! Congrats to you both. Good that you want to continue down the low carb path because once a diabetic cat, always a diabetic cat even if in remission and higher carb food could bounce him back into insulin land. So, keep up the good work and you might want to get your own ninja suit to spar with Devo.

Looks like Whisper has competition!
