Good morning all!
Well, just so there. i don't have to slap myself this morning- no pink! We have yellow! barely, but a win is a win.

Ollie seems great! he isn't eating as much as he used to, that's good! AT FD diagnosis and changing to all wet, he was eating 2.5 cans 9-lives/day. yesterday - just under 1.75. with about 6 shrimp at testing. He's deciding how much he wants and he's leaving some food in his dish now. (yeah) He was about (21lb before diagnosis), (16.9 in sept, at diagnosis) - (17.75 last week at vet). He's suppposed to be about 15. (big cat) 14 would be great. So we need to loose some weight.
Starting today I'm going to add a little more water to see if that will help reduce total calories. Also, putting a little less in his dish each meal.

Everyone have a great day! We're going for a walk - great time to say a rosary for all of us!
see you in a few

Yay on the yellow start this morning. Good luck getting Oliver's weight down. I hope you had a good walk.

Re: 12/11OliverTwist amps 298.

Enjoy your day, hugs,

Re: 12/11OliverTwist amps 298. increase tonite?

HI again,
i'm chattering about weight and forgot to ask about increasing to 2.25 tonight.
This morning was 6 cycles at 2 . the 2 doesn't seem to be the magic number so i would increase him to 2.25 tonight?
thank you for looking and advising.
xoxo'

Hi Mary and glad Ollie stayed in the yellow and no pinkus. Ollie is a big boy, huh! I like big kitties and wish you well on getting his weight down. Have a great day.

Re: 12/11OliverTwist amps 298. increase tonite?

Nice sunny start for Ollie this morning! I hear you on not seeing enough of the lower colors. Good luck with the increase if you decide to do it. Have a great day Mary!

Re: 12/11OliverTwist amps 298. increase tonite?

I think increasing sounds like to good plan.

Re: 12/11OliverTwist amps 298,

thank you very much tonight.... up we go. and prayers for numbers to go down.

Re: 12/11OliverTwist amps 298,

Hi Mary. Glad to see that Oliver made it to the yellow zone. It's really difficult to get some of these cats to watch their weight. I guess they're just like people.

Hope you have a great day.

Re: 12/11OliverTwist amps 298,

Good luck with the dose increase and the weight decrease!

Re: 12/11OliverTwist amps 298,

Morning Mary

Good luck with the dosecrease tonight. Oliver you lucky kitty! more juice for you - use it well. ad I am with you - yellow is yellow, and it is wonderful not to see pink... wish I could say that about Mannie this morning... :roll:

Good luck too with the weight issue. It is something we have struggled with here too. Mannie used to be a 12 pound kitty, should in reality be 10, but... at Dx he went down to 7, after DX shot up to 17! omg on that.... I gradually decreased the amount he was fed at each meal, and we are finally back to my 12 lb guy. For me, I was overfeeding at Dx. He was so skinny... so I fed. I wish you luck with controlling Olivers.

Re: 12/11OliverTwist amps 298,

Hi guys .. yay for yellow!! Even if it's a high yellow, it's not pink right? Good luck with the new dose .. I hope it brings those lower numbers you're looking for .. have a great day!

Good Evening!
Ollie is up to 2.25 now. I hope we get some beautiful numbers.. Maybe a green or 2?
it's absolutely pouring down rain with thunder and lightening. All the kitties are looking for a safe spot.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting our condo.
Devon, thanks for the good wishes - really hoping his numbers come down

Hey Carla, We did have a fun walk. He wanted to climb the mango tree today. But he only climbed to about my shoulder height. mama shortened the leash. sorry ollie.

Hi Sienne, thanks for the advice... done... up to 2.25. I love the story of Gizmo bringing Gabby toys. What an angel.

HI John, We fed Ollie WAAAAAY too much. now he's paying for it. poor guy. but we'll get back to his handsome self.

What a sunny yellow day for Oliver today! I hope he shows some more blue skies soon - good luck with the dosecrease. And the weight thing too. I try to weigh Neko every couple of weeks to see what's happening and try to adjust accordingly.

I saw the awful Florida weather on the weather channel. I hope there weren't any twisters anywhere near you today.

Re: 12/11OliverTwist pmps 285, +3 218,

Good luck with the increase....work that juice, Ollie!!!
