People don’t realise cats can get diabetes

“Looking after a diabetic cat is a full-time job.”

This is something Emma Damen discovered after her pet, Woody, was diagnosed with the condition in 2023.

The 44-year-old said she knew something was wrong when he was continually drinking and losing a lot of weight.

“He lost all the muscles in his back legs – it was horrible to see – his legs were shaking,” Mrs Damen, from Andover in Hampshire, said.

“He had a blood test, and the vets called us back to say he had diabetes. I had never heard of diabetes in cats.”
