Thanks for the responses. I talked to the vet assistant today. She didn't seem to concerned about Mr. J's food since they seem to have him regulated at 4 units twice a day right now. She said that for a cat to come off of insulin completely like Morgan has isn't common. Morgan is on Purina DM. He has 3/4 of a cup of dry food per day, dispensed at intervals not free fed. He also gets a small spoon of wet food in the morning and now in the evening. That was a left over effect from him having the insulin shots twice a day. He would come tell you when it was time for the shot because he knew he would get his wet food afterwards. He had been on a strictly rationed amount of Science Diet Lite cat food for years and gained weight every time I took him in for a checkup. On the DM he has stabablized at 18.5 pounds for almost 2 years. Aroara eats her food in the bathroom. The other 6 cats are outside. I live on several wide open and wooded acres out in the country. Most of them have just shown up here. I've then had them fixed and vaccinated. Morgan is strictly indoors and Aroara goes in and out.

Mr. J will arrive here on Sunday and will stay in one room of the house. Nikki at the vet's office was concerned that the problem they were having regulating him was because he has a lot of hair and they thought that perhaps the lady wasn't getting the insulin into his skin. When they had him at the vet, he regulated rather quickly. They have shaved a spot on his back so it is now easier for her to give him shots. She says that he seems to be doing well. I guess I'll leave well enough alone if she is willing to keep purchasing the insulin and needles.
