11/8 Moonie AMPS 279, +2.5 293, +7.5 217, PMPS 117, +2.5 145, +8.5 173

11/7 Moonie AMPS 223, +3 197, +7 141, PMPS 111, +2 81, +4.5 92

We’re bouncing again. I can’t tell if she went lower last night and we didn’t catch it, or if she’s bouncing just because? Though I didn’t think that her bounce break last night was particularly steep .

It’s just making me paranoid that maybe she’s bouncing because she went lower last night and the night or 11/5?

I’m just confused because she was higher at +2 for 11/5. I get that it was flat blues but it was low blues. And last night she went up from 81 at +2 to 92 at +4.5 and the number was not food influenced.

I think for the foreseeable future maybe I’ll start going to bed immediately after +2 and wake up around +8 to check

I can’t tell if this dose is too high and she’s dropping in the night in a weird pattern, or if it’s now too low with the added stress of her eyedrops and it’s not keeping her low enough. One datapoint in that direction would be that her bounce break last night nadired in the low 80s.

Or could it be her ofloxacin eyedrops? Can antibiotic eyedrops make her numbers go up?

This was Moonie two nights ago, staring at our garlic butter fried rice which we made hibachi style with steak and shrimp. Her face is going “why no surf and turf for Moon Moon???”

She does seem to bounce after she goes to greens. But the good news is she comes back down again, clearing her bounces quickly.

She may be dropping lower later in her overnight cycle, so you could certainly get a test or 2 (sigh) overnight

She does love to watch what you have for dinner and look at you so sadly, like she’s being deprived (poor spoiled, sweet girl)
You’re doing a great job trying to figure it all out Connie
Have a calm day and have a gentle slide back down Moonie girl

Oflaxacin didn't affect Leroy's numbers. He needed the drops for a herpes flare up. He let me put the drops in.

Stop bouncing, Moonie!

Thank you Staci! I guess Moon Moon and I will be hanging out together on the night shift exploring the mysteries of her blood glucose

I hope you have a wonderful day today!

Thank you! That’s good to know. What a good boy letting you put the drops in. Moon Moon is still fighting them

Oh Connie, I can imagine how frustrating and worrying it must be trying to figure out what's going on with Moonie's numbers. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to worry too much (yes I know, when someone tells me it never works ). You're doing such a wonderful job taking care of her, and hopefully things will start making more sense soon.

And poor Moonie! She looks soooo hungry! How dare you have steak and shrimp and not share with Her Majesty? That little face is just too adorable, did you manage not to share with her?

Thanks Britta! I’m trying to just accept that I don’t have control over her numbers just how I respond to them . She seems to be coming down nicely so fingers crossed! Mostly I’m not looking forward to the 2am blood glucose checks

She did get a bit of shrimp that night! And again today since we made shrimp and grits with the leftover shrimp. Don’t let her sad little face fool you!

 

[Karolina & Nestle]

Awww Moon Moon. I hope she came down for you today. Good luck with the night cycle and the new test times. Hopefully you'll discover if she drops at night and that's why she shoots for the stars in the AM.
Also I love her face and her begging eyes so much. You're so steong for refusing to guve in into her food demands.

Wishing you a calm sunday night.

I don't believe that she's ever been fed in her LIFE!!!

Thanks Karolina! We usually end up relenting and giving Moon Moon a little something . She did come down for her evening shot and we’ll be monitoring all night so we’ll see how it goes!

I have to lock Ember in her room when I eat. I'm vegetarian so it's not even food that she SHOULD want, but she is very determined and of course thinks that everything is for her.

Two of our cats go wild for strawberries and carrots, and one of them is obsessed with coffee! Does Ember love everything or does she have favorites?

I guess it’s like how Jackson goes wild for bagels. I’m still not sure how given that cats are obligate carnivores but when there’s a will there’s a way

 

[Liz & Crowley]

When I first got Crowley, he would ALWAYS paw at my rolls when I had butter on it. He wanted the butter sooo bad, and I just had to be like oh okay this isn't THAT bad for him he can just have it!!

Omg Moonie is obsessed with butter too! She’ll literally follow us around trying to get a little lick.

One of our colony kitties named NotNed LOVES tortillas. We feed the ferals on corn tortillas so there's no mess since the wildlife (and NotNed) eat the tortillas once the cats finish the food. He even dragged one up a tree with him the other day! I tried to get photos but he was too fast for me and I was laughing too hard.
Ember loves cereal, ice cream, and mac n cheese. She loves butter too!

Omg that is too funny! NotNed is like a little squirrel! You’ll have to show us the video if you ever do capture this fierce predator with his corn tortilla!

And I love Ember’s collection of faves. One of ours loves ice cream too, though we’ve never tried offering cereal or Mac n cheese for them to sniff at! Maybe we’ll have to try next time
