Our second cat Ernie became a diabetic, and the veterinarian told me in order to save him, I would have to inject him twice a day with insulin. I said that will never happen, as Ernie was difficult and I was certain he would never sit still and would claw me to death.
But for two years I gave him his insulin twice a day, and he got used to it very quickly. I had to inject him at the nape of his neck, and he reached the point where he would tip his head voluntarily for the shot. I imagined it gave him some kind of relief, and he might have even looked forward to it.
Those extra two years we had him were a blessing.
