Kate, the needles are small and most animals don't notice. Some people give the shot while the animal eats and they don't even flinch. Bogie comes to me and lowers his head, he's so dear! Molly is a drama queen but I think that's cause she dealt with people that were scared, she's gotten much better. My sisters cat was good too, Connie put a towel on the counter so he wouldn't slide around, tested his blood and then gave his shot. He knew food was after all that. I helped out when she was gone and he didn't care if someone new did it either. They will do fine..if not, I will have to drive to Kansas! -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Kate 's message, "Aww, I was hoping that maybe the food would have been able to get Chicory's levels where they belonged....I've never given a cat (or anyone) a shot before, does it look like it will be hard for you and/or Ken to do? You are going to be lucky here with Denise's help and then too when you get to the Diabetic Board...Im sure they will really be able to give you some invaluable pointers.....Good Luck..." on 7:11:47 pm, Wed, 12/19/07

Just our own experience here. We have 2 cats on 2 shots each every day. My husband (diabetic himself) injects both during their meals. Diabetic cats seem so hungry/interested in their small portion of wet food that they do not even notice... -- Mary Ann, 6:10:27 am, Thu, 12/20/07
He prepares each syringe just prior to placing the small food bowls on the kitchen floor. I do not make any moves into the kitchen during this time so they do not suddenly move or look around as cats do when they hear a sound.
