Yesterday's shark hunt
Good morning!
And there's the BIG BOUNCE! AMPS 203 shooting 1.25u

Boomer was determined to play with the sharks yesterday, through both cycles! Actually, during the pm cycle, he did come up nicely after the drop. Of course he scored a bit of higher carb food at +2.5 along with his regular fuds and again at +4 when I decided to head to bed. He did eat a tiny bit of his +6 and some of his +9 and then woke me to stir his food. I woke up then went right back to sleep and he came btb. I'm thinking of allowing him to free-feed during the night and just using plates/saucers instead of the auto feeder. With pretty much every auto feeder meal he eats about half then calls me...I don't think he likes putting his big head into the dish lol

Allen ate very well last night and left a gift in his lb. When we leave this morning to go for DH's procedure we'll be leaving Allen in "his" bedroom so that he can graze if he wishes.

Today's photo is of a Black and White Warbler. I was very happy to photograph this little bird; I've only seen one on two other occasions and neither gave me a good chance at a photo.

As always, beautiful photo!

I'd give the free-feeding a try. Autofeeders can be a great help, but sometimes the kitties just don't fully get on board! (Trix was very food motivated, but even with that I could never get her to use the autofeeder...ultimately ended up selling it to another FDMB member!)

Prayers continue for you and DH today!

I have another auto feeder that has only 2 dishes that pop open by timer. I think I will try it again. Giving him a couple of plates of food will encourage him to gorge himself at +2.5. Using the 2 dish auto feeder will at least delay some of the availability of the food until later.
The thing I don't like about either method is that he will have access to food until we get up. So if we don't get up until +11, he may (or may not) have an AMPS that is part food spike
