Johnny seems to be enjoying his day, numbers-wise. Crossing my fingers for a blue PMPS tonight.
Late last night, we noticed that Johnny was limping a little bit. We didn't see him hurt himself, but earlier in the evening, there was a fabulous poo dance celebration choreographed and starring Johnny Cat himself. Up the stairs, down the stairs, jump up on the windowsill, stretch up the wall, MEOW!, jump down, jump onto the table, jump down, up the stairs again, and repeat. It was hilarious. It's defintely possible he strained his left leg somehow during those shenanigans, but we were hoping it would be back to normal today. He's still limping and holding his left paw up when he sits. There is no outward sign of injury and there's no spot that makes him seem uncomfortable to be touching. He actually purrs while he gets it examined. We'll keep an eye on it.
Thanks for the dose advice! I think we'll stick with the same dose and watch him for a few more cycles at least. It's good to have the option to go up a bit and do more regimented snacking, but I hate to bump him up right now and mess with the shed only to have a short visit to that dose. Johnny is a free range eater, but we'll try to encourage more snacking throughout the day, esp early (+1 or +2) and later (+9 or +10) into the cycle.

Johnny thanks you all for the compliments on his photo last night.

Someone asked how big he is - he's 12 lbs. Long and lanky with a very soft and fluffy belly.
@TessieLou: Good eye in the photo. The answer is not as exciting as it could be...it's not a cat bed within a cat bed. It's a cat bed on top of a cardboard box that is filled with clothes to take to Goodwill. There is a towel over the top of the box to deter kitties from trying to climb inside. So far, so good. I'll have to find a link to the jumping video. It's part of Johnny's OTJ video, but there is a full video of his crazy high jumping.
@CD: I love that you still watch his video! Keep trying...maybe the inspiration will come.
