Matthew, I've never had a cat with diabetes before either. What were
the
signs, may I ask? My Miss Pua drinks water up the Whazoo, and I'm
wondering
if I may be facing that in the future as well.

I noticed that he was drinking a lot more. He turned down his favorite
treats. he was always hungry after eating a whole can himself than would
eat another can and want more. He started getting a fascination with
water
more than usual. It also looked like he was getting thinner but he
actually
weighed more. I was really worried that he was in liver or kidney failure
due to his epilepsy and also being on Diazepam. I was a worried Daddy
and
I can see that I had reason for it.

I will give this warning to all cat owners CATS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR HIDING
PAIN YOU NEED TO WATCH THEM FOR ANY CHANGE



Miss Pua drinks a ton of water (to the point I gave her her own glass next
to her favorite chair - who's the slave here?) and pees a lot. If you take
the cat to the vet, do they do a blood test for diabetes?

Yes, they can. I hope she is OK. You don't need more challenges right now!!
