Chaucer sounds very special!!! I just love Tabby's too. My "Mr. B" is about the same age and is like a big teddy bear too. You are very lucky to have each other. It sounds like you have a wonderful, loving, family. I am sorry he was diagnosed with diabetes, but try not to worrry. I am sure Chaucer will do very well on his medication. So many kittys do. Give him a big hug and kiss. And welcome to the forum!! Send us a pic of Chauer if you can!
