Good evening, LL neighbors!

We're sending our lots of healing thoughts, hugs and skritches to our neighbor kitties and beans who need them tonight.

Clare is doing well today. She's been out in the snow -- at least for a few minutes -- then back in for a snooze by the fire. She's eating a lot of her regular food. The mouse parade into the house seems to have slowed down some. :lol: We're continuing to add extra water to her food.

We've started to measure out the food we're giving her, although I know we're going to have to get more accurate. Her first breakfast and dinner are 2.0 oz of 4-5% LC. After that, we're waiting a couple of hours to add to her bowl, and pretty much free-feeding her going forward. On the one hand, I'm hoping that timing her food, especially at the start of each cycle, will help calm her dives and bounces; on the other I'm concerned that she doesn't lose weight, so am reluctant to restrict her diet overmuch. Another balancing act! :roll:

Have a good night, everyone!

Welcome back! I hope you had fun and I'm glad Clare is eating.

In order to be sure she is getting enough food, determine how many calories she needs and then be sure she gets that much per day. Either figure out how much she normally eats, if it maintains her weight, or you can use the formula:

13.6 x ideal weight +70 to determine an approximate amount of calories she needs each day.

I'm hoping feeding her on the schedule will help her dives.

Welcome back, Georgette! I know how crazy it is when you get home from a trip - we got back late Monday after being gone 5 days and I'm still trying to re-establish some kind of order! I hope Clare gets back on track quickly for you.
