First of all - I nearly gave myself a heart attack when I couldn't find the bag with her testing kit in it after we got home. I when back down to my car twice and could not find it (this is after 3 trips to unload 'essentials' like cats, cooler, laptop) to/from 3rd floor. I had visions of it sitting next to the driveway 315 miles away and thinking if I could drive there/back in one day (no - that would be 12 hrs and a $$$ in gas). Finally, I remembered sticking it in the bathroom because it also had my 'cosmetic' bag in it. Whew!
She continues to have great numbers on .25u (Where's that antijinx icon?). She had an almost 200 yesterday, but I think the shot in the morning might have been empty. It drew really oddly and may have only been enough insulin to cover a huge air bubble as the pen was bone dry that night. Today, after a six hour car ride, a test/shot an hour late, and 1 hr after eating she was 114. I can hardly believe it! And I am NOT saying anything else about that or drawing any conclusions (wink, wink).
She is so new that I am learning more about her every day. I was told she did not handle car rides well.
(does this look like a cat that can't handle car rides?):
She sat on the passenger seat most of the way. The rest of the time she was either on my lap or partway on the seat and part on the console wanting me to pat her head. If I stopped she reached out with her paw and touched my arm.
She can't handle beef flavored foods, apparently. Still experimenting there. Previous person said she had trouble with fish flavors, but I wonder if the cause/effect was not properly connected - you know, timing-wise. She doesn't have trouble until 12 or more hours later, if my surmise is correct.
And she CAN jump up on things like tables. Can't do kitchen counters yet without a booster (like the cooler left on the floor).
She is still "prickly" with the others, and me to some extent. She demands food every time I walk past her. And she takes issue with the others being near, but I have had her inches from Beau when I give treats. Tonight will be the first night at home where she can sleep on my bed if she wants - no more overnights shut in the other bedroom, so we will see how everyone does with that.
My mom came up on Weds and left yesterday. She walked in the door and said, "Who are you? A new charge?" And she thinks that Cami's coat and behavior improved in just the 3 days she was there. I am not sure about that, but I do think she has come a long way in just two weeks.
