WCR: ready and willing to be tested cuz that ment breffus was right around the corner! All p's in place...a happy kitty!

Now, in regards to this numbah here, not to happy with it, but it's under 120. Not sure if it's from the dosecrease or if it's because of his fuds. I am trying an experiement here...I bought a few cans of the By Nature 95% chicken and chicken liver, 95% turkey and turkey Liver, all w/no wheat, corn, or soy. Why you ask...cuz I thought I noticed that when he ate this a few days ago, he didn't seem to be as hungry...you know, the better the food, the more nutrition, the less hungry thing. I don't have a carb count on it, but I didn't see any grains, etc in the ingredients. I gave him a tsp. at his +7...so it MAY be a possibility that the new food is higher in carbs then he's used to. Gave him some new food for breffus and in the timed feeder and will see where he is at at +8.5 when I can make it home to test before heading out to second job.

Now...here's a funny....I have been using the timed feeder for a few days now (when both mom and I have to work), and was never to sure who was getting the food. Well, mom and I were talking about wishing we had a camera so we could see....anyway, mom did not have to work today, but she has to go out later and will not be home until later this afternoon, so I put some food in the feeder and set it for +6. Mom was still in bed when I left for work, but she called and said shortly after I left she heard the drooler barking her butt off, so she went to see what was going on. Here, Spot was on the counter and Civvie Ralph was on the pet steps trying to get up, and Spot was not letting him, so they were having a little tussel (Molly is the peacemaker, or tattletail, depending on who you are speaking to, lol). She went back to bed, and when she got up she heard this noise out in the kitchen and went to see what was going on...Well, there was Spot, pushing around the timed feeder, trying to get it open......So I THINK that Spot makes sure he gets the food before anyone else!!

Well, must get back to work here...lots to do and I've spent enough of time on the board. Hope everyone has a great hump day, stay warm, and enjoy your kitties.
 
Well, well... Spot is an assertive man... ."do not get between me and my food" he says!
When the timed-feeder opens in this house... it's a sprint! I think Tizon gets food.... most of the time (considering his 19 lbs!)

Can't help you with respect to the fuds... I donno and am assuming that it 's not on Janet's list either....
Looks like all is well despite the touch of bloo is morning.
 
Re: 1-6 Deb's Spot +8.5 ~ 106/ PMPS ~ 96 - .3u

No snack was given at +8.5 and I'm glad he went down to greens for his preshot. Just got home from work a little bit ago and will be getting a nini test in about an hour. Be back then!
 
Re: 1-6 Deb's Spot PM +4.5 ~ 76

still in the greens. I get a little hyper whenever I see those mid cycle blue numbers...sorta start to think that the dosecrease isn't working...but you know, I really need to remember that it ain't about the numbers...it's about the cat..and the cat is pretty damn good!!

Well, it's off to nini land for beans and furries alike. Also time for nini snackus..which Spot is so kindly telling me by sitting on the arm of the chair, eyes cutting through me like a knife......NINI ALL
 
I wonder if the food is less of an issue of carbs than protein content. It looks like the By Nature is 10% (approx.) protein whereas Wellness Core is more than 12%. The protein content may keep BG more level since it is digested more slowly than carbs. I also think if you are really wanting to systematically assess the new food, you have to get tests at the same time over the course of at least a week and then compare to a similar trial with your old brand of food. Just one or two tests could be influenced by pretty much anything.

Spot is such a character. I sounds like he's claimed that feeder.
