Looks like Gus is holding out on you early in the cycle. Nothing wrong with pausing and reflecting, maybe he's trying to decide how close to the lagoon he wants to put his beach towel?

I was expecting him to dip his toes in today but might be too cold just yet… maybe he’ll change his mind.. he does that.. lol
 
What do you guys think about this stuff? It’s made by Purebites… since Gus wasn't a fan of the in gravy MC/HC stuff… I’m looking for options. I wonder if the tapioca starch and carrots might make it MC or HC.. I could add it to LC or just plain as is (not even sure if he’ll like this stuff, tbh)

I ran it through the calculator and it’s 18% but I don’t always trust those calculators

I also wonder if when he’s full and doesn’t want to eat anymore if this could be something to carry him in cycles that he’s in the 50s for 6 hours

Note 1: I did make HC gravy mixed in LC Pate work - made it Pate like but math makes that more of an MC..

Note 2: I picked up some indoor Pates that are HC and MC, he should like them. He’s really not that fussy… just gravies apparently

Only way to know how it will affect him is to try it. I don't know if the carbs in the carrots would even be bioavailable for him. This looks similar to the Delectables Squeeze-Up that I give Bama. It also has tapioca starch which does not appear to upset his tum like the wheat gluten and other starches that the gravy foods have in them. I don't even use the gravy foods anymore. When I need Bama to come up from the limey brink, I give him about 1/4 teaspoon of Karo mixed with water. He likes that better than honey. It can dramatically increase the BG but the increase doesn't last so I always give LC along with it and maybe some Dr. Elsey's LC kibble or a few cat treats.

Thank Gina. That’s what I was thinking too (try it). I was hearing the tapioca starch was a hit or miss on whether it effects a cats BG. One day when he’s not too low but lower, I might give it a try (don’t want to chance it in the limes or even in the 50s) see what happens.

I did happen to find some indoor Pates that are mc and hc… so I’ll see if he like those when the time comes otherwise, it’s karo in LC (not sure if he’d drink the karo water… but that’s creative!) or mush everything up into a Pate like mixture which worked last time.
