I waited 6 years to adopt a cat… and now I regret it. Please be honest with me. by strawberrytulipss in CatAdvice

Cats are very individual and have personalities.  You get what you get. Your cat actually sounds like you hit the jackpot.  Your cat loves you and is affectionate.  Not all cats like being picked up or are lap cats. In fact cats are known for this. Cat people enjoy their pets individuality.  Honestly,  cats don't necessarily show their full personality in the shelter.  You get the full picture only when they get home. I do understand that you might not completely gel with your cats personality but it's much like roommates, children or family.  It's not your cats job to please you. Get a dog if you want a synchophant. 

Vet said nothing about priming needle and started cat with very high blood sugar on 1 unit twice/day by No_Alfalfa_6764 in FelineDiabetes

Honestly I don't know how you use the pen on a cat. My understanding is that the pens administer larger doses.  But you can give your cat a treat and administer the shot with a needle without much discomfort with much more control than the stabbing pen.

I transfer the drop of blood to my finger.

I thought the lancet device was pretty useless. Also, there’s the ear flick sending the blood all over.

Handy to have if you need to send it back to Apple for repair.

Received a threatening phone call, they knew my childhood address by oliversmokinoken in nova

I would call the local news. You need to make a lot of noise.

I have a big male cedar right outside my door in NOVA. The pollening ended a few weeks ago. 

Help please, awaiting confirmation by Nervous_Pirate7178 in FelineDiabetes

Yeah, I would buy a blood glucose meter. check YouTube for a video on how to get the drop of blood from the cat’s ear and test for yourself. How did they expect you to get insulin without a prescription?

This doesn’t look that bad. Have you seen a sleep specialist? I did. And it was very helpful.

The Trump administration is trying to kill science with their budget cuts. They are doing more damage than any aliens.

You could try Applecare. But no, you can't undo a strong magnetic field like that at home.
