Mistakes1- it is ok to scruff a cat, but not often necessary at home and will usually make them angry! Try without first! 2- NEVER shake insulin, GENTLY roll it. 3- Giving units of insulin NOT CC's. A huge difference! 4cc would kill this cat4- you can give it on the neck, but it's not ideal. Insulin best absorbed from the sides. Alternate spots left to right. Check with your vet to learn it correctly! No offense, but as a vet I see this as an example of how NOT to give your cat insulin.
