Diabetic "Weirdness"?
Jimmy seems to be doing well on his insulin - keeping a steady (and trim) weight. Seems happy and playful - actually LIKES to get his twice-daily shots. But for the last few days, he's been growling...

High blood sugar can cause confusion. And it's not that the insulin doesn't work well if he's dehydrated, rather the dehydration is an indication that his glucose is too high and the normal dose of insulin likely isn't enough to bring it down to normal.
OK - it's good to know that high blood sugar can aggravate the "mental state". But for the moment (fingers crossed) - the water bowl in the (safe) bathroom (?) seems to be acceptable and he's drinking and acting "normally". At least he didn't wake me at 4 AM to tell me he was thirsty..... (roll eyes)
