Hi everyone,
One of my beloved kitties had to be put to sleep yesterday due to liver failure and failing kidneys. It has been painful watching her suffer over the weekend and I understand that putting her to sleep was the right thing to do, but I don't know how I'm going to cope without her.
She was a very loving cat, friendly with everyone and also caring. When i was crying in agony over my neuropathy pains, she came out of the window sill where she loved to lie and came over to me for a cuddle.
I have another two cats, one the same age and another whose a 6 month old kitten. It's just feels like there's a massive void been ripped in my life. This year's been hard enough for me already. My blood sugar definitely took a hit yesterday, back to 5.4 this morning. I found it very hard to give insulin too, my hand was shaking more than it usually does, my mum had to steady the pen for me while I injected. I would say something like this does take an effect on managing diabetes.
I know I'll eventually get over it, as I've had to do it before but it seems even harder now that I've got diabetes. I'm actually tearing up while writing this
