Phew... Last night was rough, but I am honestly really happy we didn't fail this reduction again. She really dropped relatively low for her. Now BbB, but hopefully it is a quick one. This cycle looks almost identical to 9/7, which ended with her bouncing between blues and yellows for 3 cycles and then plunging into the limes. Knowing her, she'll save it for Sunday night
It has been a stressful week(ssss) at work, I am so ready for a few days off. Bell has been pretty darn good. I don't even want to type this because it will jinx it, but she's throwing up a lot less. I don't think she's really doing a better job at eating when I'm gone, but maybe her body clock is adjusting to the schedule better. That has been nice. I've also been setting alarms to make sure she eats at certain times, so that could be it too. I've also stopped feeding her full meal when she's starving. Just a small one and then a bigger one once she's got some food settled in her tummy.
Stepping back a little, she's made good progress sliding slowly down the dosage scale. It sometimes feels like a major battle to earn those 3 <50's for each reduction, so it is demoralizing when she fails a reduction right off the rip. Glad that didn't happen this time. I'm sure this is the wrong way to look at this, but it is hard not to when you are living it. Holding my breathe as to if/when we'll hit a wall in these reductions. Definitely not a linear process. She doesn't seem to be getting any more stable with the bouncing, but, as I think Wendy mentioned, some cats bounce all the way down the ladder. We shall see, doing my best.
