Too Hungry

Indigo is going to the hospital on Friday. She has lately been much hungrier than usual, not only eating all of her soft-food meals - she normally leaves a small amount out of half a three-ounce tin - but crying for me to hurry up when I am preparing them. It may be that her diabetes is no longer being adequately regulated by the amount of insulin I give her. If she is not receiving enough insulin, her body may not be breaking down the food’s nutrients properly, and Indie may not be receiving what she needs, even though she is eating more. Therefore, she will go for another frutosimine test. It requires only a blood sample.



Indigo has other health problems, of course, and these too may be at fault. There is more difficulty in determining their involvement, however.


She continues to do well otherwise, though, and has, after a year and a half, discovered the revolving cupboards in the corners of the kitchen. These provide her with more locations from which to be misanthropic (misfelinic?).

  8. That merry-go-round looks like fun. Once the other cats notice it, they will want to ride it too.
    Please let us know how Indigo's vet visit goes.

  11. OH my gosh!!! I can't wait for her to go to the Vet. I hope the news is not too bad. Katie has her paws crossed. She has to go pretty soon herself for a blood test.

  12. I do hope the vet can come up with some answers.

    Her hiding places are truly stellar.
