I am Grandma Bea, big animal lover. Learned 4 days before Christmas my Bashful age 11, torti, very afraid of people, has diabetes. Found this site thru facebook and want to learn as much as I can to help my Bashful and I get thru this. I have 3 other cats all okay. Bashful has not used a liter box for a very long time. Does this have anything to do with the disease and will she ever go back to using it if she gets better? I have newspaper down for her to use and she always goes to the paper to do her personal stuff.

no she does not let me handle her. I volunteer at local pet smart since 2007 when they opened. walked in one morning and saw her in a cage. if she could disappear into the wall, she would have. i adopted her and she has been with me since 2007 december. gets alone with my 3 other cats but is a loner. at times when she does not expect it, i can pick her up and hold her. she lets me hug and kiss and pet her. When she was first diagnosed, I took her to vet as she was lethargic and i could see something was wrong. they did the blood work. saw the numbers, up in the low 500's. i was able to get her in the beginning to give her shots twice a day, now she runs from me being she is feeling better. i have dry cat food propac ultimates savanna chicken. and i read fancy feast classic. she hates the stuff from the vet. i am open for any suggestions, education and advice from those who have cats with this disease.
