INcrease to 3.5, a 1/2 unit increase. We got a 200 PMPS. This is good, but I would love some opinions about the cycle. He did not raise at +2-3 after eating like he usually dose and he stayed flat until +8.5. I am going to shoot 2.5 and not lose the momentum.
 
We've been down this road before.......I am not too excited because of how flat the cycle was. 1/2 u increase should have taken him down more......

But he sometimes take a couple cycles to really show himself, right? I like the pmps and like your dose.

Thanks Sue. I will see what happens. I will give this 3 days at this dose. I don't what to let him hang in one range too long again. What did you think about how flat the cycle was all the way through +8.5?

Not sure, Bobbi. Not a usual ProZinc result. If he dropped all cycle and got into really low numbers for pmps, then we might say the dose was too high. But it was a slow drop and he isn't in unsafe numbers. A typical Bubba dance - he must be listening to rock....
 
I'm trying, but some say no go. It's hard to make sure everyone is eating while I watch Colin. I've gotten very good at picking up the kibble, but tonight one of the cats was running all over the place, having fun, but causing trouble. I got distracted, and that's all it took! Glad I heard the crunching. Not sure how much he got.

It must be very hectic at your house during feeding time. It sure is here with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I'm picturing all these little bowls lined up going at your house going around the perimeter of your kitchen, HA!
 
1 eats in the bathroom, 1 in the bedroom, 1 in other bedroom, 1 on the buffet, 3 on the table, the rest on the floor in the kitchen. DJ, the 23 year old, sometimes sleeps through meals then wakes up screaming for food. :eek:

Celebrate the small victories Bobbie! Even if you are worried it won't last, you gotta let yourself enjoy even the small things. Have a glass of wine and give Bubba an extra treat so you can both enjoy this!
 
Not long. I have the kibble bowls fixed the night before. Those are for the cats on the table and buffet. I grab a large can of wet food and the smaller can for Colin, then the wet food eaters follow me to the kitchen and I get their food in bowls on the cabinet by the coffee pot so I can get my coffee while I stand there and watch them. The two in the bedrooms I run feed(wet food) after I give Colin his. Fortunately it's a very small house!
 
It would take me all day! I had 5 once no special needs. It was more than enough. Maybe you could do a reality show, make some money to help pay for it all????? Just a thought.

How did Colin make out after the kibble invasion? His SS wasn't updated when I checked.

I hope that's all it is. Any idea how long it takes to get out of their systems?

Not sure about the BG, I know when Bubba was having surgery the vet said that cats process their food faster than dogs and he was allowed to eat the morning of his eye surgery at 6 am and the surgery was around 9AM But again, not sure how long it's in the BG for
 
I'm not sure how long but I don't think it'll take too long. It is just the kibble...it happens!
 
I hope to get a black cat for my next one- I had one a while back - named Winston for John Winston Lennon- got him around the time John died For the all black ones - do you have any trouble telling them apart?
 
I can tell them apart if I can see their faces or tails. Two of them are the same age, and when they were young I couldn't tell them apart, since I had named the first one Pete, I called the second one RePete, called ReRe. I had a tuxedo cat named Winston, his brother, Salem just passed away a few months ago at 22, and DJ, his other bro. Is 23. Sadly Winston, a barn cat, disappeared when he was 10. BTW I love John Lennon!

As frustrated as you are over Colin, I am in awe how long-lived your cats are!!! I've had 5 cats - 1 lived to 16, 2 to 17 and 1 to ~ 19 - never had any to live into their 20s - sounds like that is normative at your place. You are doing something very right there
 
Those cats are all related & apparently have good genes. They lived outside, with cheap food, and never even had a cold! I've had a few others make it into 20's, but it's not the norm. I consider 16-18 great, lots of barn cats don't make it that long:(, that's one reason I bring them in at night now.

I was wondering if they were litter mates.
 
Salem and DJ had the same momma. The other cats I got from that house lived long lives too. Just don't know how old they were when I got them. It was an elderly couple that loved kittens and kept letting them breed. There was a beautiful Maine Coon feral male that was the father of some of the earlier ones, so I had no trouble finding homes for them. DJ is a Tabby and Salem was black.
 
Thanks, yes very exciting. Hope it lasts. Murphy has been doing well, hope he's getting used to the lower numbers, and will stay there.
