Cats scratch things. Furniture, carpet, and even wood like the trim around doors. While it’s an instinctual need for them, the damage it causes can be frustrating for us.

For many people, their gut reaction is to yell at the cat, shoo them away, or maybe even give a few squirts of water from a spray bottle.

We’ve got some much more effective tips and training techniques for getting your cat scratching appropriate things.

Cats need to scratch so you can't stop them, but our tips will help you redirect their natural scratching instincts away from your furniture.

Feline diabetes, known as diabetes mellitus, has become an increasingly common condition in cats. It often occurs in cats that are overweight and/or older. As in humans, cats have a pancreas that should produce insulin to regulate the sugar (glucose) in their bodies from their diet. Diabetes occurs when a cat’s body is not able to properly balance out the sugar in their bloodstream.

If your veterinarian diagnoses your cat with diabetes, you will need to work together to create a plan to manage this disease. You are an important part in creating a treatment plan for your cat. When diabetes goes untreated, you may notice increased signs and symptoms (listed below) which can progress leading to pain, nerve damage, muscle weakness, other diseases or conditions, or even death.
