10/24 Max AMPS 475 +3 435 +6 325 PMPS 282

Bad bounce from last night. I went to bed at a decent time and didn’t leave food out so I’m sure he went lower. He does so much better when I can feed the curve. Can’t stay up every night so this is what happens. Nothing else to do. I’ve got to sleep and I’ve got things to do.

I feel your pain - Herman responds best to extremely frequent snacks - it is exhausting, i know! Herman has evolved into the world most spoiled cat - he has come to expect his snacks served to him "in situ" - if he is in cat bed I hold plate up for him. If he is in my bed, I let him eat his disgusting mush next to me. Outside? Picnic snacks with his cat friends (I have to take plates out for whomever he is hanging out with at the time). He will very happily eat while lying down as i push the wet slop to his mouth with a little rubber spoon. We have evolved to this because its easier for me to manage the late night feedings in my bedroom vs going all the way downstairs to the kitchen and waking up his dog brother etc. So I have totally created a monster!! While it has been working so I don't think I can do this forever - but while we push to get him to a nice low dose and consistently in greens I will keep it up. Looking into an autofeeder - I just don't think he can be bothered half the time to get out of bed for a little spoonful of food like I feed him.

Yes girl. Amazing what we do for these cats. I think most people who know me think I’ve lost my mind. I mean, what can you do??? I just do the best I can. I know you do too. If there’s an easier way to manage Max, I sure don’t know it. I know him though and he is very high maintenance and a lot of work.:bighug:
 
I think I may eventually change Max’s shot times to accommodate these later nadirs even if I have to get up extra early in the mornings. Time change coming up soon so may take advantage of doing it then.
