California. Born here, lived most of my life here. Still think it's the greatest State, the only one I could ever live in politically speaking, and one of the most beautiful and desirable places to live on the planet. But it has its share of problems! and that's one. *Make sure you get a Catlock on the new one. Cat(alytic converter) theft is BIG business. But you undoubtedly knew that already.*Krista was in between when she finally came around to wet food. She would most often clean a plate right away. But she would come to me often begging for her next plate. She was also eating several meals a day. I could trust Krista with timed feeders. I haven’t established that yet with Betty.
I am also thinking that I should book a staycation for Betty and me to see how she does with a hotel room. Hopefully she won’t still be on pred by Thanksgiving. But if she is, I think I would sleep easier if she traveled with me. But we’ll see. She may not be a traveler. I need to contact my sitter and start making plans one way or another.
Oh yeah. I just remembered that my car needs a catalytic converter replacement. It’s still there. But the mechanic told me it’s a shadow of itself and it will breakdown sooner than later. We didn’t replace it then because the part was on back-order with GM. And California emission laws forbid me from using an after market part.So that’s another thing possibly keeping me here this Thanksgiving.
How does Betty do on her car rides to and from her care team, overall?
Yeah, timed feeders/feedings would be ideal for you and Betty.
That got some approval. She ate a half ounce. I’m okay with that. She took three capsules containing four medications (pred, Cerenia, mirtazapine, and ondansetron) and s boulardii. She’s currently napping right now. Calm before the storm. Let’s see how mirtz and pred combine tonight. I don’t expect any leftovers tonight.
So I took out some trash, brushed my teeth, cleaned her box, and ran out of busy work to hold her off. She wasn’t even accepting fuss anymore. So at 8, I plate. At 10 after, we’re lights out. She took a couple bites then came up for cuddles. Then back to the plate where she reduced it by half! I was worried with pred plus mirtz that she would scarf and barf the whole portion. She came back for cuddles and now she’s doing some pre-sleep navel gazing. 
I can never tell if she’s working out some digestive discomfort, 
or if she’s simply saying her prayers before bedtime. 
Or she’s mind-blogging about her day.
For how long….?
), but she doesn’t do laps or sit on my chest like Krista did. And usually she only climbs on me if I’m awake. Again, so polite. If I’m sleeping (or faking it), she’s usually more mindful of the path she chooses.
to the wonderful world of ‘Pred Land.‘ I am at the phase w/ Zorro where every plate is a clean plate, and a new one demanded at least every 2 hours. I’ve been stoic, but it’s hard, and while I was away for 15 days my kind sitter gave in more to his demands. A bit of dietary action is required. Stay tuff.
