Samwise AMPS & PMPS

We "seem" to be seeing a bit of a pattern - with Steve and Allie and Kristen and Sam and your Sam - of throwing a high number after a lower number than usual.

I am wondering if a strict regiment of feeding small meals day and night will even out these bounces and get these kitties into safer numbers and smoother curves.

What do other people think?
 
and time i think for a dose increase. if you want to go slowly make it a 2.25.
 
We already do feed small meals all day. At night we put food out before we go to bed and by morning most of it's gone. Not usually all, but sometimes. All canned, all low carb.
 
Steve doesn't get small meals all day...he is just free fed. There is always food available if he wants it. There would be an all out rebellion if he wasn't. He eats WHENEVER he wants to and I mean WHENEVER. I let him regulate himself with his food. Somedays he eats like a pig, other days he eats like a skinny starlett. The numbers don't seem to reflect it the changes in his food habits--or if they are they are not concurrent to the cycle or even a precursor to the next cycle.

I asked about accomadating food on another thread, but I honestly don't know if our family could handle restricting his food. It might make us have a healthier cat, but I promise if I had to do that...I'd probably NEVER own another cat EVER. Steve is an angel and I love him, but he can turn into a little satan if he doesn't get his way with his food. Last week when I was at home sick, Steve came and slapped me on the back with claws to wake me up because he wanted a new bowl of food. The food that was there was a few hours old at the most (by few I mean less than 4).
 
We have a devil cat too. Jack, our asthmatic, has an appetite that astounds us (and yet he's got the figure of a runway model). If he's hungry and not getting fed, he starts with a little meowing. Meowing turns into yowling. Yowling turns into foot and ankle biting. If that still hasn't worked, he launches himself onto your leg, wrapping himself around it and chomping down on your calf.

We really try not to get to that stage. :shock:
 
Sam also eats several times a day. He just sits in the kitchen and waits for us stupid humans to notice he's sitting there politely. Our female cat is a little **** but not any of the others. We have 4.
