STEPS
TOOLS
Locate the cat, make sure he's hungry. He usually is
Find the dry food and the needles in the pantry cupboard
get a tin of wet food too
the insulin needs to be kept cold, it's in the fridge
Take out the insulin vile and roll it in your hands to warm it up. It needs a little mixing
draw out about 3 units of insulin from the vile. Cats are small, they don't need much
I think he suspects something
Dish out about 1/4 can of wet food on a small plate. This will be used to distract him
The cat will be waiting impatiently
Place the plate on the floor, he'll dive in. Fill the dry food bowl too, he'll eat that later. Now that he's busy eating you can sneak up on him with the needle. He won't notice
gently lift the loose skin on the scruff and make a small tent with your fingers. This is where the injection goes
carefully inject the insulin under the skin. It won't hurt, he's too busy eating
Put the insulin and wet food back in the fridge
Done! Cat is happy
