Since the last increase, his numbers have averaged at about 160. We got two greens yesterday, didn't have a chance to get all the numbers today. Is it true that after you have a green you hold the dose 2 cycles longer?

I would hold the dose for the full 6 cycles and evaluate. If at 6 cycles, he gives you nice greens again, then holding for a total of 10 cycles is a good idea.

Sometimes even with green, there is still room to increase but let’s talk about that when we get there.

Right now, Apple seems to be bouncing from the greens

Yes, I generally help longer if seeing some green, at least 8 cycles.

Bouncing or food influenced, which is my bad, scheduling has been totally off today. Thanks for the reply!

Right, I thought I'd read that..hoping for some nice greens tomorrow when testing is regular

Bouncing or food influenced,

The pink PS today was most likely a bounce IMO. Why do you think the higher numbers was food influenced? Did you feed something higher carb?

I fed him to close to the test....

Oh I see. I’d make a note of it in your SS for future reference. It’s helpful to track feedings (how much, the carb content if you know, and when) so in the future you can look back and see if there are any patterns. Some cats are particularly carb sensitive. When did you feed him before the test out of curiosity. Apologies if you already know this but you want to try not to feed 2 hours before PS time and test before feeding and shooting.

Hi . . . I think Apple free feeds (wet) . . .

Hi-Like Tina Marie and Jan said, Apple is a free eater. He would eat all the time if I let him, his appetite knows no boundaries, so I try to keep it to the 2 hour mark, but he really gets agitated, so....
