But the insulin would have kept his weight down, too, yes? Portion control and insulin certainly kept my weight down, scarily so, because I only used insulin when pregnant.

flea, we're not really sure where it comes from. My grandfather was Dornis, also, and one of dad's cousins and a step-cousin were also saddled with Dornis. My great-grandparents were French and Pennsylvania Dutch! So, where the Dornis comes in to play we're not sure--French or German? I've seen it used as a last name, too, so I've never been able to pinpoint it's origin.

Okay, "Tresabel Dornis" is totally a character name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Actually, the insulin allowed him to regain weight. Not sure if it is a cat thing or what. Basically, if his sugar is unregulated (high) he shed weight rapidly. If kept in balance, he would reach a steady weight and plateau. Keep in mind, when I got him, he was 18 lbs. When the diabetes was diagnosed, he was down to 15. With each crisis, and age, he's dropped a bit more. My kitchen scale now has him at 7 lbs 6 oz. The easter crisis, he weighed in at 8.8 on admit, but dropped by the time he left. Another crisis and he almost lost 2 lbs. He doesn't have much more to give.

More of a lover, with bonus extra lives. Seriously, this cat is between 18 and 20, diabetes for 8 years ( which is unusual in felinity) and just keeps hanging on.

WOW. Puck was fourteen (and a half?) and I thought that was remarkable.

He's rather unusual in his longevity, chronic condition not even counting. With it, yeah, miracle cat.

My Aunt Cindie's legally Vernelle or something like that. I dunno. No one actually uses that name, not any of her siblings (I mean, I only ever met Moss and Olga, but still, I'm pretty sure none uses the name on her passport for squat) or her niece and nephews or her non-blood relatives like me.
My sister, meanwhile, is legally Cindy, but hasn't gone by that since she was two or three.
