We saw some nice blues last night, after a few high days post-reduction. Another U-shaped cycle, but he didn't climb all the way up into the red before shot time for once!

He's being a brat about heavily preferring his dry food again. Look out, buddy ... we're going to start phasing that out soon, now that we're back from our trip! Although, I also noticed that he's starting to put just a little more meat back onto his skinny bones, which does make me a little hesitant to take away a source of calories that he might take some persuading to really replace ... I'm going to see if I can borrow my roommate's scale later to check his weight and verify my impression.

His cheek wound has me a little worried--there was pus during the car trip yesterday, and fresh blood when I wiped it later on. I have one cleansing wipe left ๐Ÿ˜ฌ (I have ointment, but it really should be cleaned before applying). Hoping soap and water will be an okay substitute if necessary for a day or two.

Today's main challenge, however: a new Libre installation. Bracing myself! The current sensor has lasted the full 15 days, so that's pretty great.

Happy New Year's Eve, friends! I hope your kitties surf out the end of the year safely. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™

I hope his wound will improve. Iโ€™m sure soap and water will help clean it.

Good luck with the food transition! And remember to have a toothpick or nail file handy to firmly hold the sensor paper down and gently lift off the cap when installing the Libre.

Youโ€™ve got this ๐Ÿฅฐ
Good luck today ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿพ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›
 
Bear Bear was the same with his contraband kibble ๐Ÿ˜‚ honestly made such an improvement having him on an all wet diet.. he isnt too thrilled and will try to sneak kibble whenever he can ๐Ÿ‘€

You can do it, Gen!! No contraband!!

Safe surf into the new year! ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ โœŒ๏ธ ๐ŸŒŠ ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™
 
New Libre successfully installed! Still some struggle and making awful noises, but ... less. Definitely less. And he didn't hide or stay mad at me. In fact, he seems to be feeling pretty good in general.

(Meanwhile, I'm awfully sleepy myself. I had planned an outing today, but I guess we'll see if I'm up to it.)
 
Nice little cycle last night. I was going to ask about his cheek, I had hoped the infection had improved. Having a good appy, getting weight back on and extra calories arenโ€™t a bad thing, given the infection. Itโ€™s possible itโ€™s easier for him to eat the dry, especially if heโ€™s favouring that side of the mouth.

It's good that he didn't stay mad. Monster pouts all day into the next with attitude to give at every opportunity!
