@becwana she and emme would get along very well lol1

I'm sincerely tempted to post a picture of my guy to go along with all this, though he's not a pet. Otherwise, the stuffed dog I keep on my desk (gift from my daughter) is about as pet-worthy as I can get! LOL1

These are my 2 Snicker the dark fat tabby, and KitKat the orange tabby. They are sister and brother. 13 years old.

Here is a rescued gentleman who:
- Can't climb trees, or
- Walk like he's not a duck (note the extra toes...), and
- Sleeps as if he doesn't have a job.

Yes she did, she also once tried to stand on the top of the bottom window sash on our bedroom window and since its only one inch wide she feel and sliced right through the fabric window blinds getting herself stuck in the cords and wedged between the window and dresser.
She's chewed multiple holes through the comforter on my bed.
And there are two matching paw shaped holes sunken through the screen on my patio for just about the height of her standing on her hind legs.
She's actually destroyed 4 different window blinds.1 -

I am glad/sad to say all 7 are spoken fur

Wow! Sounds very "creative!" What's the story with the comforter? Catnip stuffing?
She looks like a cross between a Maine Coon and Kliban cat. Obviously destined for entertainment!0 -
@ralflott lol definitely not in the market 5 is enough. Emme was my last foster failure it's so hard to give them back.
I have no clue with the comforter she goes crazy on it. She has also chewed through about six phone charger cables, that wasn't cute at all.
You should see get chase her tail, sommersaults and back flips and everything.
She does look like a maine coon but she's small and has short little legs .1 -
Here she is in all her big belly short legged glory
This is how she uses her tower

For those of you who have rescued or adopted an animal, there is a special place in Heaven for you, pet friendly so you'll be reunited with your darlings. As the Sunday School song says, that's "Another Star in Your Crown."
Don't get me started on the topic of the folks (not us, obviously) who abandon a helpless animal, when there are shelters everywhere. There's a special place for them, too, just not in Heaven.7 -
Introducing "Cat" our feral cat. He's been picked up & fixed by the state.
Notice his clipped ear. He's got his own feeding station by our back door
& his private cat house next to it. He only lets a few get close enough to pet him.

Love the furbabies!! Such wonderful, uplifting, photos!!
@mandycat223, I'm with you! People who harm, or mistreat animals, have a super special place reserved just for them, and no, it's not in heaven!

@vinegar_husbands my kitties are lc they eat mostly wet and we sub in some low carb high protein dry. I have at least one who has ibs so if I feed anything else he's a mess. I also had a diabetic kitty at one point and he could only have wet, but that was before they started making the lower carb dry foods

My cat gets grain free organic dry food and wet food. The cats in my house went Paleo when we did years ago !2

Here's one for the KetoKitty© crowd.
We are always on the prowl for cost-effective nutrition for our coven of cats, which includes one with a rather touchy tummy.
For the moment, we have settled on Nutro Duck, which, alas, is a little on the pricey side.
Any tips?
Thanks!0 -
The ever-resourceful @Sunny_Bunny_ made the astute observation that veterinary recommendations for diabetic cats - unlike those the ADA circulates for mere humans - are genuinely low-carb. Hmmm......

We've had good luck when blue buffalo grain free chicken and nature's variety instinct raw boost. But both are going to be as pricey add what your currently using. I've found I can get pretty good pricing on chewy.com1

Yes they are, kind of astounding. When I was treating my cat though, the first very wanted me to use this special dry food by science diet. Then I went to a vet that specialized in treating diabetic animals and was told only to feed high protein low carb wet food. But I guess there isn't as much money to be made as there is in continually treating humans.3 -

By gosh, I think you may be on (to) something!
Not that special cat diets are, ahem!, inexpensive....

True but nothing compared to what the insurance companies pay for diabetic supplies insulin blood work physician visits hospitalization etc2 -
This is Duchess (AKA Duchey Girl). She is always up in my fresh flowers' business.
This is Stonewall Jackson. Don't let his adorable sleepiness fool you; he is a jerk.

Unfortunately not all Vets are on board with that apparently.The ever-resourceful @Sunny_Bunny_ made the astute observation that veterinary recommendations for diabetic cats - unlike those the ADA circulates for mere humans - are genuinely low-carb. Hmmm......
My good friend was house sitting and looking after her cousins dogs last weekend while they were away. One of the dogs is diabetic. My friend called me all shaken up because she came in from work and found the dog laying on the floor panting really hard and unconscious and she was a few minutes late in giving her insulin shot so she hurried up and gave it and the dog didn't respond. She got her to the Vet within a short time but she didn't make it. The dogs blood sugar was low. They were not given any instructions to ever check her blood sugar or change her diet or even make sure she ate all the food she was given. They were also not given any rescue glucose.
I can't believe Vets give out insulin to people to just arbitrarily inject in their animals without any way to know if it's even the right amount or if it should be adjusted. They were never even told to make sure the dog actually ate the food.
I was so upset about this happening to my friend because she was convinced she had given the shot wrong or that because she was a few minutes late (like 15) with it that she caused her death.
It makes me sick to know that people aren't being taught how to take care of diabetic animals safely.4 -
That's a rotten story! I suppose if folks are uninformed about diabetes in humans, it's not surprising they have little idea of how best to care for diabetic pets. Maybe pet cereal should come with diabetes warnings.... 0 -

You've obviously got a winner, phone cables be damned! (A casualty in our place, too, if I leave them unguarded or forget to wipe them in vinegar or wrap them in foil...)
Foster failures. Oy! They do know how to charm, don't they?1 -
