The Importance of Being Oscar

Oscar has made it through his storm. Upon taking him to the vet he has been diagnosed with diabetes.
She with the most squimish stomach has learned to give insulin shots twice a day. Oskie takes them with grace and then "yells" at me for a few moments before sauntering off in his princely Garfield "esk" way. He is walking better, looking better and almost back to his grumpy and pampered self.
For the rest of his long and happy life, he will need the shots and for the rest of his long and happy life I will say every time I give them "See Oskie, you just take the veggie tray to school on your birthday instead of cupcakes, no problem".
That line is compliments of Benji. It was his response to my dramatic tears and indistinguisable muttering...

I was convinced my fat cat had diabetes. But no, thankfully, she doesn't (at least not yet). She is, however, being checked for a thyroid problem and now they want to check her for pancreatitis and something intestinal? These furry creatures become such integral parts of our lives, don't they? I am proud of your for being brave and giving the shots. Oscar is lucky to have such a great mom!
