So my lovely 14 year old orange tom Charlie was just diagnosed with diabetes. He's always been overweight, and we're unsure what we did wrong. He has type 2 diabetes now, and stage 2 kidney failure. He has certainly been acting sicker, peeing in places he shouldn't, and moving much slower. I am wondering if anyone might have some tips for how to care for a cat with this kind of condition outside of things like feeding and insulin. I need advice on behavioural treatment and interaction with the fella, and any other tips anyone might have. I want to make him as happy as possible in his last time on earth, if that's what this is. Thank you!

I recommend that you also post for advice on the FelineDiabetes.com message board
Members there have experience with managing diabetic cats who also have kidney disease.

There are members here who have experience with diabetes and kidney disease but maybe not with a cat with both conditions at the same time
