Good morning,
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=116071&p=1220451#p1220451
It feels like it should be a slower day but the cat room is going crazy this morning. The "Cat Woman," (me) was informed by the neighborhood children that we have at least two tame strays living in the yards of different people. They brought "Gelato" to me two days ago, :roll:. So, now I have her in a cage in my cat room because she is very upset about all of the other cats in the room. She is completely tame and I can pick her and pet her just great, even when she is growling like mad at all of the other cats at my feet. :lol: She wasn't eating and had not gone poop or pee so I cracked open the baby food with water in it this morning and smooshed it across her lips and her nose. She quickly ate the entire jar of baby food. I then went and mixed some water in a few tablespoons of Friskies and brought that too her as well. She was not as interested in eating that but she did eat some of it.
The kids told me that there is a lady who is sometimes feeding her, but no one wants to claim responsibility for Gelato. I need to find out if Gelato is fixed and then get her spayed if she is not. I have to take her to the vet or the SSPCA where they will shave her lower parts and look for a scar. The last thing this neighborhood needs is abandoned kittens getting hit by cars and running around starving. We don't have anything like that right now. It just brings such heartache to watch that kind of suffering every year. I know neighborhoods in Elk Grove where that has happening for years. I imagine that it must be a real bummer when someone is heading out for work in the morning in their car a squishes a kitten, or sees another one splattered on their street-- every summer all summer long. This is what happens when you don't help with T-N-R.. the cycle of suffering continues.
It's gently raining here too and that also seems to make things feel slower and more calm. But now I've got to get all of our tax things prepared and that makes me want to pull my hair out of my head.
But back to Rocky.. he is still doing really good. He saw two blue numbers and two green numbers yesterday. He spent five hours total in the green and blues yesterday. I guess he is trying to clear a bounce still this morning as his morning AMPS was 333 and when I checked him at 4AM he was 319? I haven't memorized the 'Five P's' but I'm absolutely sure that he's has them. \M/
Tonight we will start a new insulin pen as we dosed him with the last of this one this morning.
Rocky's recap of yesterday:
AMPS 220 +2 140 +3 92 +4 69 +5 101 +5.30 137 +7 324 +9 320
PMPS 323 +2 398 +7 319

I wish Rocky could clear a bounce into the 500s in those few short hours. It usually takes his pancreas and liver about 3 days to start to come down. :sad:
