Looks like Muffin is already starting to clear the bounce from yesterday. :)

Are you going to keep shot times at 9:30, or walk it back?

Tonight we are going to keep it at 9:30 but tomorrow will probably go to 9:15 amps. another not so smart question. When you say "starting to clear the bounce from yesterday", is it because she bounced high in pm and now is going lower?

Yes, they typically bounce up after they hit lower numbers than they're used to. Bounces can last up to six cycles. Usually when they clear them faster, it means the body is starting to recognize that the lower numbers aren't a bad thing.

Don't know if you've already had bouncing explained to you, but just in case, here is the explanation from the New to the Group? sticky:

  • Bouncing - Bouncing is simply a natural reaction to what the cat's system perceives as a BG value that is "too low". "Too low" is relative. If a cat is used to BGs in the 200's, 300's, or higher for a long time, then even a BG that drops to 150 can trigger a "bounce". Bouncing can also be triggered if the blood glucose drops too low and/or too fast.The pancreas, then the liver, release glucogon, glycogen and counter-regulatory hormones. The end result is a dumping of "sugar" into the bloodstream to save the cat from going hypoglycemic from a perceived low. The action is often referred to as "liver panic" or "panicky liver". *Usually*, a bounce will clear kitty's system within 3 days (6 cycles).

The only not so smart question is the one you don't ask!!
