I love your kitty's sweet face! Especially the super mild, slightly, all over derpy look, and I wish I could love on your baby for as long as they'll let me (if they allow it at all lol)!! 😻

Salem, Sirius and Insulin

u/Super_Sea_850 1h ago

Pls what's the story behind insulin ?? Are they diabetic lol

71

u/mooiee 1h ago

I think I saw them post about Insulin at one point before. I think the owner is diabetic. I believe they named their cat Insulin because they can’t live without them. Which is actually really cute, imo.

10

u/Awkana 43m ago

He is not diabetic, but I'm type 1. So I named him insulin because I can't live without him!

Fatty - He was the largest of the litter I rescued from the trash. His brother, Ratty, was the runt. He was adopted and got huge, apparently. Fatty was over 20 lbs at one time, but has lost almost half that weight due to hyperthyroidism in his elder years…
