So sorry, @CatLady to hear of your precious Amador being ill. I hope the meds are helping your baby. 💞 ---

Amador seems pretty comfortable on his pain management meds and is eating well. Right now he is cuddled up on the bed with us and snoozing. We just want him to enjoy as much of life as possible as long as he can. Thanks for all the kind words and support. ---

My Amador appears to be holding his own right now on the two meds for pain and inflammation (though one day last week he was very weak and I was quite worried). His appetite has generally been good. I bought a low-entry litter box and some Dr. Elsey’s “senior” cat litter to try—hopefully easier and cleaner for him to use. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/2/236b7041b9b48c9067fe3fbe597746f8c99fbc71.jpeg) ---

today marks 9 months that taranga has been gone :(. I miss her dearly. especially on the 17th of each month. I can’t believe its been this long. it seems still raw. I miss her every day. I look at her ashes and wishes she was still here. its no fair that she didn’t get to live as long as calvin did. I miss her quirks that she had. I miss her snugging with me at nap time and bed time. I love bubba but it isn’t the same. she was my baby girl. she was my love. calvin was too. but taranga made things mattered. she made me smile and laugh. I haven’t cried today. I’m not sure why. maybe I just haven’t yet. anyways, bubba is good. he decided to put his paws on my arm today. as if he knew something was wrong. he was snuggling up to me most of the day. so he tustve of felt something wrong. ---

Amador passed away quietly just a few hours ago. He was the most sociable and cheerful of companions. My heart is heavy yet brimming with love for this very sweet kitty who adopted us almost 20 years ago. ---

When HarHar died, I grieved deeply but did not see much change in my BGs or insulin needs. He’d been fading for a loooong time and was very old and frail so his passing was not unexpected. With Amador’s death, my BGs were higher than normal for several days. I ran increased temporary basals and had to up my boluses. Ami had been weaker but stable until the last day, when he just steadily weakened. I think anger with myself—not asking for more tests early on despite the very low rate of bladder cancer in cats—plus grief just totally messed up all things D for a few days. Doing better now but I especially miss him at mealtime (“are we having chicken? please, please!”) and bedtime (cuddling and kitty kisses). ---

hugs…with calvins it was unexpected but it was a shock as he was healthy as can be but he was 18. with taranga it hit me a lot harder. so I understand what you are going through. it is hard. taranga was the same with chicken. its treat time its treat time. our babies are the world to us. and we will never forget them ---

@CatLady I am so sorry to hear that HarHar has gone to rainbow heaven. I know your heartache is inconsolable but am glad to hear you are able to keep your BGs in check. May HarHar RIP and now again enjoy painless, freedom of running and perhaps hunting (as cats are prone to do, at least my kitty), among our other passed on fur babies. 💞 🐈 🌈 [Previous page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/the-daily-life-of-cats/2846.md?page=38) [Next page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/the-daily-life-of-cats/2846.md?page=40)
