Cass, I'm so very sorry to hear this. I don't know if it makes any difference since you have made the decision - but I believe I mentioned that I have a diabetic kitty that I give twice daily shots to. She doesn't even flinch and I don't believe she even feels it. She's 14 years old and has been treated for the diabetes for six years now and is doing wonderfully! I think she actually enjoys all the attention that she gets at shot time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Rick and your precious Cato! I know you're making the best decision that you can!
