Yesterday's condo:

WCR: Since she started a new pen yesterday morning, I need to monitor her today. Gave her a rest yesterday, but also realized that I may have missed a good dose reducing # in the process. Oh well.. In the meantime, she's liking the fact that she's eating with the others, and yesterday after their +1 meal, Aurora (civvie) decided to throw up. Thankfully, DH was able to do a Blackie Block from it, and I was able to get it cleaned up. Aurora ate too much, plus she had a fur ball. Love those mixtures... NOT! :lol: Again, this morning, I had to add a bit of Fortiflora to Blackie's food in order for her to finish it. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a start of something that I should be aware of... Is she not wanting as much food now? Is she trying to tell me something? Is there even a small ray of hope that perhaps I may get her OTJ in the future...? I guess only time will tell me the answers. And we continue on...

Yesterday afternoon, I made a banana bread for the first time this season. It was cold enough to warrant having the oven on, and make the house smell real good. DH came home, and took in a huge wiff. Plus, made pork chops with sauteed onions and fresh mushrooms, mashed taters, and peas. After dinner, we had a slice of the banana bread. I was already full, but DH wanted his dessert right away after dinner. He never waits for banana bread. :lol: I've got a Libby's kit for 2 pumpkin breads that I need to make, also, and a couple of boxes of spice cake mix. DH's 1 year no-smoking anniversary is coming up on Saturday. I need to get some cream cheese frosting, and make him his cake that day. And he wants me to make mincemeat cookies too this year... I think I should open up a bakery if this keeps up! :lol:

Hoping that everyone is having a good week so far.

MY WISH: For God To help heal the broken hearts of those who lost a beloved pet and/or human... For God to help those ailing make a full and speedy recovery... For everyone to have great #s... For everyone to be OTJ.

It looks like Blackie is doing great on the new pen. Maybe she just doesn't need as much food when she stays in lower numbers. Furball doesn't eat as much when she gives me green surfs. I think they process the food more efficiently so they don't need as much.

Yum on the banana bread.

Hi Angela,
I have read that when kitties are better regulated they require less food. Before they are regulated, the nutrition from the food seems to be closed off to the cells in the body. So unregulated diabetic cats are hungry all the time and eat a lot, but still lose weight. The fact that Blackie is maintaining her weight and eating less is good!

Have a great day. Enjoy that cooler weather and all that baking and cooking. What a great way to celebrate your DH's first anniversary off cigarettes by baking him his favorite cake!

Hugs and scritches,

Ella & Rusty

Thank you, ladies. Only time will tell from this point what she plans on doing. I'm still maintaining the status quo of 3.25u, and 36g of food 4x/day. Nothing has changed at this point, other than the new pens when it's required. I'm leaving it up to her right now.
