A Day in the Life of a Sugar Kitty

At the Rainbow Bridge

I'm waiting here for mommy to one day cross with me.

From Mommy:

After several years of diabetes and the kidney failure, Bubear started to do poorly and wouldn't eat. She struggled to even stand up. After getting back her bloodwork and seeing that the numbers were really bad, I made the decision to let her go this morning on August 25, 2012. My parents came over and we took her back to my childhood home to be buried with Furball and Twiggy beneath the gazing ball in the garden. I miss you Bubear.

Been a long time since I've updated

I've been off insulin for a while, so no more needles. But now the vet thinks my kidneys aren't doing so well. I'm drinking more water (Mom bought me a cool new water dish - actually it's a fountain). Mom's giving me pills. Yuck! And she tried to get me to eat that nasty wet food, but I refused. She did change my regular food. It's alright, but not real tasty. Mom says I have to go back to the vet in a couple weeks to see how my kidneys are doing on the new diet. It sucks getting old.

The horror

Went to that awful place the other day. Mom says I need to, but I don't believe her. They embarrassingly announce my weight, stick me with needles (much bigger than the ones mom uses*for insulin) and otherwise harass me. I tried to hide in mom's coat, but then she moved away from the table so I couldn't reach her. That was so mean. I just don't like going to the vet!!
