My Little Sh*t

For those who don't know, Pearl is a diabetic cat. I've been treating
her since April and she is doing very well on a low carb wet food diet
and Lantus insulin. She is, actually, like having a new cat. Playful,
shiny, trouble............

I came home and I had bought some homemade kolaches which, for those
who don't know, are a yeast roll with a little filling in the center. I
got a cream cheese filling. They were in one of those hard plastic
containers you have to wrench apart to get into. I set it down on the
floor (OK, why, I don't know but I did) and went into the kitchen
(right there off the doorway) to test Pearl and she was a lovely 147 at
+12.5. Good, I thought, probably high enough in an hour or so for a
shot.

Got to preparing the cats food, and I heard her playing with that
container, but didn't think much of it. Hell, I can hardly get into
them sometimes. It simply did not register with me that the sound
stopped. I turned around and there she was, container open, nose buried
in the center of a kolche, licking out the lovely SUGARY CREAM CHEESE
FILLING!!!!!! I couldn't help but laugh as I pulled her away from it
calling her (see the title of the thread). ARGH! I'm pretty certain
she'll be sky high in a few minutes. She only ate about a teaspoons
worth, but we all know it doesn't take much. The little...............

I'll bet she will say it was the Devil who tempted her by putting it on

Now what do you have to say for yourself? MLB

I can't figure out how she managed it. But it wasn't very hard, and
didn't take her long. Be very afraid.

Where there’s a will there’s a way. LOL

Hope the little **** is ok. ) I’m sure she will be. Just a lil
treat amidst what I’m sure is a very well maintained diet by her
doting meowmie.

LOL! That was from me. When I’m browsing web sites I get so used
to telling the privacy manager to not send my name or other
information. It’s amazing what web sites will harvest from you if
you don’t know they’re doing it.

Well, a high once in awhile won't hurt her. But now you know the next
time you have trouble opening one of those containers, just give it to
Pearl! ;-D
BTW, how much is her dose of Lantus? And when do you give it to her? I
take it muself, 12 units at bedtime; whereas Sheba takes 4 units NPH
at meals. I was thinking of switching her to Lantus; but didn't know
if it would work for a cat.

LOL. Give Pearl a scritch from me and tell her I understand completely.
What I do when I just have to have something nice is, I take an extra
dose of insulin. Glad to hear Pearl is doing so well otherwise.

It works great for cats. Really slow gentle drops. I give Pearl 1u. I had to
go up to a fat 2units when we started before I started seeing her drop, but
now, 1u produces a really nice curve and lately she has stayed between 78
and 230 most of the time, with ocassional burps higher at preshot. Humulin N
is pretty harsh and doesn't usually last more than 8 hours. If you don't
hometest I highly recommend it. It's easy, fast and lets you know what is
going on with the BG so you don't shoot a low number. Most people, even when
they switch to Lantus from another, start at 1 unit. It takes about 7 days
to "settle". You should read through the feline diabetes message board. We
have a ton of cats on Lantus now. I buy the pen cartridges, which is a five
month supply making it only about 30.00 a month.
