absolutely -- lancets are lancets, and I found it easy to learn how to prick doing it freehand, some cats, and Catcat is one, don't like the noise of a lancet pen actually he doesn't like anything near his ears other than when I scritch him -- but he's learning to put up with it to get treats, he still growls and struggles but no longer fights me as hard as he did for a few days lancets are cheap at the pharmacy / chemist -- to begin with, you might get some that are 26 or 28 gauge, until his ears grow more capillaries -- cat ears are thin so you want a prick that's larger around, not deep which is more the human experience OneTouch strips are on the expensive side for human meters, not sure how they compare in price to the Alphatrak -- there are alternate strips which will work in an Alphatrak -- Freestyle Lite or Freestyle Insulinx -- check out to see if you can get a deal with a free Freestyle Lite if you buy the strips for it, then you'd have a backup
