DISCLAIMER: This video is part of our ongoing mission to support diabetic kitty parents. It may serve as an educational example of safe and caring diabetes management — whether it’s blood glucose testing at home or administering insulin with extra care. It can also be a helpful guide for using positive reinforcement when giving any meds and for deepening your bond with your kitty. Even when Adonis is a little “extra” — especially with cat dad! — we always prioritize his well-being over content. If he’s ever truly upset, we stop. He is never forced. Everything is done with love, patience, and respect.
