My cat, The Beast, is diabetic. My old cat, Mittens was also diabetic. Unlike Mittens, unfortunately, The Beast doesn't seem to be responding to insulin treatment or the antibiotics we tried (not that I know what antibiotics were supposed to do for diabetes anyway), and his behavior keeps getting worse. He now pisses on the floor multiple times a day, no matter what we try. He knows where the litterbox is because he craps in there, but for some reason he just refuses to go out there to pee. It's looking like I'm going to have to take him to the SPCA, much as I hate to, because I can't afford to keep trying new things that don't work, and there's no way I can bring him to the new place with his behavior the way it is. With all the things I've tried I've probably spent upwards of 3 grand already, with no improvement. I really wish I could come up with an alternative that would let me keep him, but it's not looking likely.
I'd make him an outside cat if I had a yard for him to live in, because at least that way his constant urination would be less of a problem, but it wouldn't change the fact that he's not showing any signs of improvement. We've changed types of insulin, have him on a strict diet, and nothing works. I wish I could just FIX him.
