She gets little treats sometimes, the cottage cheese which the vet prescribed because her phosphorous was so low, other cheese, and a little fish occasionally. Sometimes I'll give her a couple teeny vegetables because she loves that, like three peas.

Before she got diabetes, she ate a fairly lousy diet, kibbles and people food. It sounds like this sort of diet is contributing to the high increase in diabetes in cats. But, I didn't realize. I thought I could reverse it with diet changes, but that didn't work.
yeah, I was going to say that I didn't think that was a disease most animals (other than humans) get because they aren't usually eating bunches of processed foods, corn syrup, & sugar. But I can see if it ate a diet of "People" or processed foods how it could happen.

Will it kill/eat mice?
