Cats with feline diabetes can still lead a happ lifeWritten by Marc de Jong
Continued from page 1
Your cat will need to get food at set times, and preferably should stay indoors. And – this is essential - you will have to give your cat insulin shots. Once a day, often two times daily. Your vet will determine quantity and tell you how to do it. It is not scary! But keep an eye on your friend. Your cat should have had food before getting insulin shot! If not, a hypoglycemic shock (a ‘hypo’) may occur. This is also possible if your cat gets too much insulin. And this is really dangerous. If you are not there to help, your cat might die from a hypo. Duvelke has had a few hypos since 2003. He survived. How? By putting glucose in his mouth, on inside of his cheeks. Honey on his tongue also worked well. Duvelke’s quantity of insulin has been reduced considerably past year. And he’s doing really fine. If you didn’t know about his disease, you would assume he is a perfectly healthy cat. So, with a proper treatment, diabetic cats can still lead a happy life!

Continued from page 1
There are now several museum that have opened, that are devoted totally to Ousider Art. There are now galleries and agents that are looking for Outsider Artists to represent, which, in my own personal opinion, kind of makes term an oxymoron. How can you be an "Outsider" when you are now on "inside"?? Food for thought, I suppose. Question for day would be-"At what point does one stop being an "Oustider Artist" and become a "mainstream" artist"? You can view our online Outsider Art at "An Artist's Dream" http://www.tias.com/stores/anart Ice Originals II Collectibles, Jewelry and Music http://www.tias.com/stores/iceorig Ice Originals Toonz- Music in all formats http://iceorig.com Ice Originals - Inside Out!!! http://www.iceoriginals.faithweb.com
Owner of "Ice Originals II" and "An Artist's Dream" on the web, as well as a practicing artist for the last 15 years. She is married to an "Outsider Artist", and lives in Central Texas.
