Good morning,

Mookie woke me up very early this morning by dropping one of his balls on my head. I said, "go away," which he did, and then I heard him dragging his wand toy down the hallway. By then I was awake, and listening to him play by himself, batting and chasing one of his toys, made me smile.

His bg number is higher than I'd hoped this morning, but I'm beginning to accept that this is the nature of the illness. It's a beautiful, sunny day, and there are many things for which I'm thankful.

I wish everyone a peaceful day.

Hi guys .. Nice report on mookie .. listening to kitties entertain themselves is the best .. well, unless the entertainment is coming in the form of them doing things they shouldn't .. like trying to climb up in the Christmas tree at 2 a.m.! I hope mookie makes it down to the lower floors for you today .. have a great day!
 
Re: 12/20 Mookie AMPS 349

You have a great attitude Randa! If you're fated to be waken early, that's a nice way for it to happen.

It's hard to be upset with your sugarkitty feeling good, isn't it? He is such a sweet boy. Hope he comes down to some better numbers today. Happy Tuesday!

That's a nice +3! Mookie is so good at clearing his bounces. Listening to a kitty play while snug in bed, the best of both worlds! :lol:

It's so nice to hear Mookie is playing. That is one of the things I missed the most when Tarragon was first diagnosed and it always makes me smile to hear him.

Have a great day!

What a good report, sounds like both you and Mookie are doing well. He is coming down nicely today.

Try and send some of that sunshine our way, would you? I have had enough rain and dreariness! :lol:

Thanks, everyone. Mookie seems to be steady in the yellow, which after yesterday, is a relief. :-D

Hi guys - isn't this a nice even mellow yellow surf. Excellent job Mookie. :-D Mookie is really looking good - ought to, I hope, be a great cycle tonight.

I love the wake-up call. :-D I just get loud bellows in the ear, and claws to the shoulder since they think they are starving and quite possibly I have forgotten to feed them... :lol: :lol:

Mookie is very funny. If I don't respond to one of his "gentle" wake-up calls in the morning, he'll escalate things by pushing something off my nightstand onto the floor, which makes me sit bolt upright. Then he scampers off down the hall.

It'll be interesting to see what his numbers do this evening and tonight. I haven't tried to manipulate the numbers with food yet since when all this started he was anorexic (not even quite a month yet), and it was traumatic for both of us to get him to eat again. Once he was eating on his own I slowly weaned him off kibble--he was truly a kibble addict and wouldn't touch wet food. Hence I refer to him as a "recovering kibble addict." Since then I've still been feeding him small amounts of canned lo carb (except for yesterday when I blew it) whenever he wants it, which is usually every few hours. I'm not sure when I'll start feeding him on a set schedule.

Too fun on the gentle wake-up calls - it is kinda funny, but I suppose not first thing in the morning. :lol:

I can understand the food concerns. It is good though that Mookie is accepting the wet food - YAY! There are alot of kitties her that are free fed, or fed as you do with Mookie. When you guys are ready you can try to manipulate the cycle with food. I do that with Mannie. He is/was such a "diver" when we first started that I began to feed him with several mini meals at the front end of the cycle to stop the drastic drops, and even out his cycles some. It really helped him. It takes a while for it to all even out, but it does eventually. Anyways... with a little experimentation you will find the schedule that works best for you.

Good luck tonight - I am anxious to see what Mookie does tonight. It was a nice day today - nice and even. YAY!

Hi Randa & Mookie,

Mookie is looking very good today. Good luck with your feeding schedule(s). Many kitties do well free-feeding, however. You just have to see what works by trial and error.
Have a fine evening.

Ella & Rusty
