Recap 8/30

261 AMPS
173 +5
173 +9
214 PMPS
249 +2
265 +4

Slept through the PM+8 test. Doubt that it would matter since she was on a steady this-dose-isn't-working climb last night. I probably could have held the 9.5 another cycle, but her blues lately have been few and high. So Miss Fuffy Pants got her dosecrease this am after only six cycles. I just want to keep ahead of the game if I can.

Picky eating day in the neighborhood this morning. Odd cats. They look at their plates, eat a little. Walk away. Go to another cat's plate (holding food from the same can) and eat a little of that. Move on to another's. Sometimes, I even have to move Polly's entree from one side of the vanity counter to the other to trick her into eating more; ooooh boy, she thinks. a different plate. Gobble, gobble. After her shot, even if she still has a little food left on her plate, she'll come out of the bathroom and head straightway to Boomer's plate and nosh a bit and then clean off any remains on Rowsie's plate. Of course, Boomer and Rowsie rush to the bathroom eat Polly's leftovers. It's a three-plate circus.

Now, the dog. Well, I'm sure he'd eat cut up cardboard dropped in his food bowl! This morning he inhaled half a baked potato brought home from last night's dinner out. He's so low maintenance. (Well, except for the medicine, the walks, the runs in the desert, the trips to the reservoir for swimming and stick chasing, the overnight let-outs for bathroom breaks, the barking at everything that even thinks about going past the house on the street....)

Vines and wishes.

Musical food plates!

Oh the tricks we have to play on our kitties....

Hope you have a great day today!
 
Re: 8/31 Polly AMPS 321 (10U)

Marilyn, you're too funny. I always love reading your condos, and I can completely relate to the plate circus. Why are cats such jealous little creatures? Always afraid that others have something they don't......

My dog actually has eaten cardboard (not that we were deliberately trying to feed it to him). Hindsight tells us we should have named him "Hoover," because he truly is a vacuum cleaner when it comes to food. ohmygod_smile

Your trip is coming up this week, isn't it? When will you leave?

Good luck with the dosecrease. She's so close to the good nadirs. Paws crossed that this will go ahead and push her into that healthy range.
 
Re: 8/31 Polly AMPS 321 (10U)

Work that dosecrease, Polly!

I sooooooo wish the kitties would eat with the reckless abandon that dogs eat with! Our civvie Petey...you have to put the plate in just the right spot, and allow him to sniff your hand for just the right amount of time before he'll eat. And we all know how Trix demands a human holding her plate before she'll consider eating. It's crazy!

Have a great day, Marilyn!

Good luck with the dosecrease. Don't you know that the food always tastes better on someone else's plate. :lol: I think anyone with more than one cat has done the plate chase game.

Ah yes, Shelly. Hoover! Yes, I've known two dogs with that name for that reason. And we have a cat at work named "Kirby." Same reason. He's the sweetest old man cat, dumped by his people because of his FD. If I can ever get Polly to a more regulated state, I'd really like to bring him home. He's doing well at the sanctuary, but he could do so much better with 24/7 care.

Yup. Polly and I start our excellent adventure the 6th, next Saturday. Two days on the road and her initial exam is set for Monday, the 8th. Once she has her head examined :smile: , she starts treatments on the 9th.

Thanks to Molly, Amy, and Carla, too, for the encouragement. Looks like the Pollydoodle is coming down. Anxious to see what the day brings.

Hi bootiful girl! I iz so glad you came out to play wit me on the beach today. - Eddie

Ahhh...the plate chase game. Five cats here. Two civies that often require room service, which means the non-room service cats worry that they are missing out, and leave their full plates in the kitchen to check out the room services plates, and the room service kitters decide to come to the kitchen to eat the leftovers of the kitchen kitties. ohmygod_smile And...its all the same food.

Very nice slide for Miss Polly, today!!!!! Good job, but I think you've got a little more slide down left in ya! Sending lots of healing energy her way for all of the travels and tests and treatments coming up! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday, Marilyn!!

Hi Marilyn,
Nice blue numbers, Polly! :smile:
So funny but true about them thinking other kitty's food is better than their own.
Good luck with the trip, exam and the treatment.

Kinda reminding me of Goldilocks hehehe

By the way, I saw your comment somewhere about syringe feeding polly at CSU. Punkin had no nausea at all. They were so great with the anesthesia. Impressed me tremendously. The biggest thing was that he was hungry after the procedures and I gave him a tsp at a time every 30 min or so to make sure he didn't scarf and barf.

I hope you'll post on the trip so we can cheer you and Polly from FDMB!
