Treating feline diabetes

What choice of treatment do cat owners have when their pet is diagnosed with feline diabetes?

My choice is to change to a 100% raw meat diet – no kibble and no cans with cereals listed as an ingredient.

Since my cat began his new diet this week, I have noticed that his thirst has returned to normal and he is starting to eat normally.

His fur is looking in better condition.

Perhaps eating a 100% raw meat diet is more expensive than processed foods, but it is healthier for our pets.

When I was growing up in Australia, we fed our cat “Timothy Titus” on kangaroo meat. 

He wasn’t allowed inside so he would have supplemented his diet on prey.

He had a long and healthy life.

The other choice of treatment is with insulin.  This can also be expensive. 

And it requires a dedicated owner who can give food and injections at specific times of day.
