My family's longest living kitty is diabetic. He was diagnosed in 1987. Kitty receives 2 shots a day, is fed soft food 3 times a day and loves to see that needle. He knows food is coming after the shot. He's 19 years old now. He's not that spry, and sleeps most of the day, but still meets my mom and dad at the door, beats them to the food bowl and gives a concert after he eats. We think he's a medical miracle!
