Excellent weigh-in! She'll get fluffier when it gets cooler. If and when. She may feel better, too. Hoping.I had some baseball card busy-work to do this morning. That kept me distracted until Betty woke at 11 and finished breakfast. Purrfect! On to the weigh-in:

That’s great news! Her weight was stable this week despite missed portions and a scarf or barf (or two.) I’ll keep her on this revised feeding schedule and let her leave remainders as she sees fit. We’ll check in again next week. But I really don’t think I need to stuff an extra half ounce into her after all. The specialist can tell me what he thinks of her slender body at our appointment next week and whether she needs to gain anymore weight. I’d like her to be a touch more on the “fluffy” side. But I also see her moving around like an old girl and wonder if, like with me, a little extra weight would be a little extra discomfort on those joints. I want to wait until she is off her other meds before I try some CBD with her to see if she moves easier. CBD is quite safe on its own. But it has the potential to make prescription drugs stronger or last longer because of its competitive binding in the liver to a popular detoxifying enzyme family.
Okay. So breakfast in the books. Weigh in done. I wish she would take her other hairball treat. Can’t win them all. Lunch is served and I’m getting ready to go for my weekend run for the first time in three weekends. I’m sure I’ll come back to lunch half done. For now, I’m letting that sleeping bear lie. Because if she starts lunch too soon, she may finish too soon as well. That will be uncomfortable for the both of us.
