@Ronnon I am linking your Welcome thread to the Health Forum.
In regards to the syringes: Since you are in Spain, I am only assuming that your 1,0 = 1.0 in US If they are equivalent, which I am assuming they are, you are using a syringe with incorrect markings for insulin.
If that is the case PLEASE, ABSOLUTELY, DO NOT USE the syringe that states " 1,0 ml ". That is NOT an insulin syringe. I am referencing your 2nd photo in the above link. It is a bit hard to interpret as I can not see all sides of your syringe.
Per the link below, Insulatard is a U-100 insulin as is Lantus.

You must use an insulin specific syringe as noted by @Manu & Porto. His syringe appears to have only 1 unit markings, try finding a U-100 insulin syringe with 1/2 unit markings. You would have 10 individual lines between each number as opposed to 5 individual lines. This allows for finer measuring. The correct insulin syringe should state on the syringe " U-100 insulin ". This allows for finer measuring. I was unable to find a syringe with half unit marks smaller than 30 units per syringe.
So PLEASE, get rid of the syringes that state 1,0 ml. Camera broken otherwise I would try to post a photo.
On a happier note, your kitty is beautiful! I heard of Chinchilla but never knew anyone who was owned by a Chinchilla.
