Who's Your Kitty?

.

Hello LL beans and kittys!

When was the last time you updated your kitty's Profile?
We'd like to ask you to update your kitty’s Profile.

Keeping Profiles updated keeps all kitty’s info as a quick link and you'll avoid everyone asking you over and over
"What do you feed?" "What meter do you use?" "What health issues are there?"

For example, the following are some of the things you can put in your Profile.
Plus, feel free to add anything else that you think is relevant to your kitty's history.

• New and old juice? Did you switch insulin and when? What insulin were you using prior to switching to Lantus?

• What's the scoop? Diagnosis date, kitty’s age and current weight (and ideal weight if you know it – Is your kitty over or under weight?), health issues (such as pancreatitis), current medications, recent diagnoses, history of ketones/DKA, etc.

• Feed me NOW! Did you change food brands, transitioned from dry to wet? Feeding raw? What's your feeding schedule like?

• Meters. What’s the name of the glucose meter you use? Did you switch to a shiny new meter? Do you have back up meters?

• Newly OTJ? Has your sugar kitty gone to the Falls? What was the date of your last shot?

• Extended fur family. Who are your other fur-kids? You are welcome to include extended “fur” family (i.e., those with skin, feathers, fins, scales, etc.,)

• Where do you live? Just kidding! (but you can include your city and state/province and or country)

• Who's the bean? Who are you? (completely optional)

If you have a Profile set up, look through it and see if it needs updating.

If you have not created a Profile, it would be really great if you could. It’s not mandatory, but it does help others get to know your kitty.
Have a look at some of our signatures and see what a Profile looks like.

Besides, when you post in other forums of the FDMB, others will know your kitty’s history by quickly clicking on your Profile (this is especially important if a LL member is posting in Health and there is more extensive medical history in your Profile)

Feel like being creative? Google Documents lets you play around with colour and text. Have fun with it.
Did you know you can also add pictures and links to your Profile?

A really cool way to jazz up your kitty's Profile, check out the Coolification website link within the How To Create A Profile instructions link.

Coolification was created by one of FDMB's dearly loved and missed, old timer members, who passed away late last year, Jamie & Boots (GA).
And the Profile is a tribute to what Jamie created for LL and others as a source for crucial information about sugar kitty's and their success.

Google has made changes to their Documents since Cyncyn's profile instruction sticky was posted (old version option vs new version option, changes to toolbar menu options, etc). The Coolifcation profile, if the code is inserted in the right place in the Google doc (if you can find it), will come out looking like this:

Cyncyn's profile: https://docs.google.com/View?id=dgwjt5kk_89w7nb6pc8
A sample Coolification profile from the old board: http://www.felinediabetes.com/phorum5/p ... php?9,4819

If you can't figure out where to put the Coolifcation HTML code in the Google doc or don't want/need a fancy looking profile, you can use these instructions instead:

Alternative profile template to the Coolification one

Start a new blank Google word document.

Use the template located here http://www.felinediabetes.com/phorum5/p ... php?8,1888 to see what information you should include in your profile. You can use the same general format if you wish. Just start typing away in the blank Google word document page that you just started :smile:

Then follow all of #5 of Part C of Cyncyn's profile instruction sticky viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17766 (the one that says #5 click on "share" on upper right. then click on "publish as a web page"......) to publish your document and to get the correct URL to share with others. Don't forget to save your document.
