I'm looking at adopting a cat who has been diagnosed as diabetes in remission. The charity has told me to research it further than what they could tell me themselves; as they believe if it comes from people with personal experience then I know personal experience for daily living and the impact on the cat
The female cat is 14 years old and slightly over weight but on a controlled diet since the charity has had her, and the weight has reduced slightly (but due to the small pen size it doesn't give her much space to run off that weight). She eats off board with spikes to prevent her gobbling food down, so she has to work for her food). She has no other health conditions aside the diabetes, no problems walking and is a lovely sociable very playful cat. She outwore me!
My main concern is, what will that diabetes do to her if i can't get her weight down at a steady rate?
Thank you
