Exceptionally BEBT this morning! zooming about chasing Polly around the living room. Purry, furry and sleek. Really start to wonder sometimes if he just is a cat that likes to live in the higher numbers? or if at least the odd dips lower give him a boost. If I didn't know he had FD I wouldn't for a moment consider him to be unhealthy or unhappy! I'm gradually learning to stop worrying about the numbers and rejoice in the fact that Rupert is alive and happy. If he stays in the high numbers for a few days he does start to look tired and haggard and that gets a bit depressing, but he seems to bounce back, so I have to be patient. His body is beginning to reset itself (I hope) and he's obviously feeling like a new, younger cat. He's just about to pounce on Oliver Dyson who just walked in front of the couch, staring match in progress!
clean plate this morning, and.. in perhaps misguided anticipation of another dive and swoop I fed Merrick SurfnTurf with a teaspoon of Fancy Feast with gravy....not sure if that equates to MC or simply LC with a dollop of HC?!! hoping to perhaps slow down things before they even start. Hoping that's not going to backfire but at this point I'll try anything to keep him from diving so dramatically and experimentation seems to be the only way. So far, so good. He's very active this morning and obviously feeling fine. He's standing on the couch right now looking at me as if to say 'isn't it time you went and fed the horses???' Rupert, ever the task master!
Hope everyone has a great day today. So nice now that spring/early summer seems to have arrived here!

Ella seems pretty content in the high numbers too. Rolling around for cuddles, chasing the other kitties, enjoying tons of kisses. Hopefully both of their livers will come to the conclusion that it's alright to be low...in the meantime let's keep cherishing their happiness
