The good news is that subcutaneous shots are Really Really Easy on cats. She probably won't even notice the needle after the first 3 or so.

Thanks! I read somewhere that they're supposed to be intramuscular, but I've heard more people say subcutaneous. I guess I'll ask that too. The question pile is growing.

I don't know about insulin shots specifically -- never had a diabetic cat to treat.

I'll know what my vet says about it in a couple of hours! :)

For humans anyway, it's subcutaneous.

Thanks - I didn't know even that. :-)
