Kitty treat?

Lucky - our diabetic kitty. He doesn't get many treats. When we first got him I noticed he was sickly. We kept giving him antibiotics for - well, let's just say a li'l problem he was having. When you take excessive amounts of antibiotics - it's recommended to eat some bacteria to replace the "good bacteria" that gets annihilated by the antibiotics. Lucky developed quite a taste for yogurt.

Mike sat down last night to eat a little yogurt snack. He couldn't figure out why Lucky went so crazy. I think that Lucky remembers his yogurt days. Before the tests came back to show that he was diabetic. I still can't be certain that it wasn't my fault - that I didn't elevate his blood sugar level by feeding him tons o' yogurt. But, we treat him as a diabetic kitty and feed him special food and he acts like he feels better.

Lucky - cleaning up the remnants of a snack...

Sylvia comes running for yogurt too, even if she's in the back bedroom when I open it. I think it's good for her.
