Adopted
Marilyn’s cat.
Coming 猫房 cos mummy away and he needs insulin jabs x twice a day (Erm told mummy I don’t agree cos twice!! X 0.01ml glargine, so all the more need to put freestyle sensor to be really safe to know when can’t jab)
His usual jabs timing r 10am and 12pm. Mummy follow strictly no food but only food when jabs r given. So poor thing loh. I was told he is a greedy cat. Let’s see by then got sensor his diet won’t be so restricted, and hopefully he can wean down n off insulin like Totoro.

Then won’t see the rest, will b like just now, u alone. Duno he understand a bit the purpose or anything also better than stay in room a – I give him carrier and he walk in straight and I bring him to unused toilet. He calm. he look at me while he see me bringing things one by one for him. Added a night light for him also. he left 10 doses of metro (just know today that he started on 14 days metro starting fr 21.3.23), ab can’t skip n yet he can’t touch. So better than totally 0% hope of getting it in, I put into tiny teaser chicken and
