What Sienne was suggesting is an option of two 18 hour cycles instead of three 12 hour cycles.
So supposing you normally shoot at 9am (what it looks like to me) but he is too low for your comfort, or too low because you're going out the door. You can skip that shot and instead shoot at 3pm in the afternoon (18 hours from the previous shot). Then you skip the usual 9pm shot (because it's only 6 hours after you shot at 3pm), and shoot on time at 9am the next morning.
Has anyone suggested that you get a timed feeder? Those can be worth their weight in gold for working people. I got one for punkin and would set it to open as many as 4 times so he was getting fed regularly if I thought he might be dipping into lower numbers. We got the
PetSafe 5 compartment feeder - one of the huge benefits of this feeder is that you can set the times you want. Some feeders have inflexible preset times. Although it says it's for dry food, we used it for canned as do many people here. You can add an ice cube to each compartment to keep the food cold and fresh.
One of the women here had 2 timed feeders, so hers could open 8 times while she was at work. I thought that was super smart. If a kitty goes into low numbers, you give them food. The feeder can be a substitute for you once you've trained Taffy to eat from it. Punkin didn't like the noise it made when it rotates the tray, so he'd wait on the coffee table in the living room, then when it started turning he'd make one giant 6' leap into the dining room and be at the feeder by the time the new compartment had opened.
That way you don't have to depend on a boyfriend who is lousy at this.
