Punkin's last condo 6/11

Top of the morning, Lantus Land!

Just thought we'd check in today. Punkin is snoozing in his little bed in front of me, happily purring away. anya has found a new fav spot in the house - a friend gave us an old cat tree that needs some cosmetic repairs, but anya doesn't mind about that at all and has claimed the top round as her perch. she's up there 90% of the day now.

For whatever reason, punkin has been on the express train up with his insulin dose for a couple of months now. he was on 6.5 on may 1st and now is at 8.25. DH and i were talking this morning about how it seems like the tumor has revived or something. he's also back to bouncing. ohmygod_smile fortunately, punkin doesn't know the difference in his dose, so like always, we march on and try to stay focused on just getting his numbers down again. i keep using R to try to flatten him out.

and yes, he made it in the Clean Plate Club this morning and made sure Anya got there as well. *whew* :-D

i've entered summer vacation mode - wahoo and yippee! now if only someone would tell mother nature that summer should show up at some point in western oregon, all would be perfect. the kids are all off doing their summer things, leaving us with an empty nest. another wahoo and yippee! love the kids, also love it when they go off on their own. :lol:

Drat on the dose. I'd wondered the same thing about his tumor. I sure hope not. Thank you for the CPC update - good job, punkin! You are Zener's role model. Too funny about Anya claiming the new kitty condo. :lol: :lol:

Yeah for summer vacations and nice to have the place to yourselves again. Cute story on Anya and the condo tops - they really don't care what shape cat furniture is in. My most used cat scratch post is over 20 years old and well "loved".

Sorry to hear about Punkin bouncing. The dose is what it is to make him green, but the bouncing is annoying - do I know it! I hope it's not a return of the tumour. Maybe a seasonal thing? Cat's sleep more in the summer? - presuming it shows up of course. I was talking to a friend of mine who takes Lantus, and she is on 18 units during the summer and 20 during the winter due to change in exercise.

Great to hear from you Julie and it's good to hear about Punkin!! Just like with everything else, you work the insulin around what your cat needs. Since you've got the summer off, I hope you'll be visiting more.

It's great to see a Punkin report!!! Hopefully his increased need for insulin is just a little blip on the radar, but either way, he's still sweet Punkin.

Summertime weather was very slow to settle in around here, too...I think we finally have it! Hopefully you'll start seeing more of it soon, too.

Nice to see you Julie, and glad to hear Punkin and Anya are doing well and happy. And I'm glad you're happy to have the kids out the door and doing their own thing, for the summer. Hope to see you around, more often ;-)

Julie -

I'd LOVE to send you some of our summer... it arrived w/ a vengeance! Tues/Wed will be nice, but then it's back up to the 90s w/ high humidity...ugh!!!

Sorry to hear Punkin is on the increase... hopefully that will reverse soon!

Hi julie - great to hear from you. Great too that Punkin is doing well. Good luck with the dosing - it such a dance isn't it. Bummer on the bouncing. that one I can relate too - seems Mannie is back in prime form on the bouncing and the diving. Punkin, none of that for you, OK?

WOO HOO on vacation mode - enjoy!!
 
So happy all is well with you and yours. I hope this is just a temporary snag in Punkin's progress. He has the best caretakers around.
Mares and Miss
 
Hi Julie,

It's good to hear from you. I'm glad you're all well. I hope Punkin's numbers come down without any special care.

Yay a Punkin condo!

Congratulations on finishing school and having an empty nest so you can truly enjoy summer :-D
I hope that Punkin's numbers flatten out soon so that he can enjoy those healing numbers again. The kitters are so lucky to have a cat tree to romp around on and maybe some extra excercise will help with Punkin's bg:)

Nice to see you Julie and thanks for visiting us yesterday :YMHUG:
