For the past 2 weeks she has drinking water like there's no tomorrow and urinating so much in her litter box that I had to clean it everyday.

I suspected that it mght be diabetis, but the Vet confirmed it today. :(

Now I have to give her 2 shots a day for the rest of her life. Between her and I, I would have thought I'd be diabetic first.

She's not going to be happy.

I have to take her back in the morning. They are going to do a couple more tests and then give her a shot of insulin and monitor her all day long.

She knows when I don't feel well (Nurse Cat) and also, she gets very protective when someone knocks on the door or comes into the house. (Guard Cat.)

Before FedEx changed drivers, she would run to the door and give this low gutteral growl at the FedEx Lady.

I had to leave her at the Vet's today, so they could run more tests. Everything pointed to Diabetes. They gave her a shot of insulin late this morning and she responded really well. They actually gave her a little too much, so they cut the dose in 1/2 for me now. I gave her a shot tonight.

The vet said that they caught it early (no sing of pancreatic disease.) She said there's no reason that she should be back to her usual self and live long. (She's 11 years old.)

(We have been through WAY too much together.)

      Really? Wow. Sorry. Got my timeline messed up. I remember someone claiming to be Graham’s mom on the old Charlotte.com board so I guess it was a long time ago that he was here.

      Nick Scott may be doing better than thought.

      Nick Scott has gotten his share of Huddle hate, but I came across this SI article by Zach Roberts when I was researching recently released Quandre Diggs, speculated to be a better option  (https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/11/07/breaking-titans-cut-former-three-time-pro-bowler-quandre-diggs-4-destinations-ranked/3/), but getting back to Nick Scott... Now to be fair, the observation on Scott was before the Packers game, but the stats couldn't have changed that much, and may have gotten better.   "At some point during virtually every Carolina Panthers game, you have probably found yourself grumbling about Nick Scott. The much-maligned safety has seemingly been out of position a lot or has failed to make a play. The eye test has often let him down. "But that's why stats are so helpful. Sometimes, the eye test, especially for fans, is unreliable. On occasion, advanced metrics help make sense of things and lend more clarity. In the case of Scott, they make him look like a much better safety than any of us would've guessed. "In coverage, Scott has given up just 15 yards and an average of five yards per catch. That's the lowest among safeties, leading superstars like Julian Love, Talanoa Hafunga, Quandre Diggs, Kerby Joseph, Kyle Hamilton, and Minkah Fitzpatrick. "In FI%, the safety leads all his counterparts once again at 40%. Brian Branch, Camren Kinchens, and Xavier McKinney are some notable names he leads. He's been pretty excellent in pass coverage, which is crucial for the Panthers." For those wondering, "FI" means forced incompletions. Now I'm way past trying to figure out why X links aren't embedding for me like they used to, but here you go: https://x.com/dacornerman/status/1981363757608513632?t=rx_5iLjp8_y5huNcg_y1nA&s=19   Suffice it to say that Scott may not be as bad as some have led on.    https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/news/much-maligned-panthers-db-way-better-than-think
