sad to report that mr punkin let his membership in the CPC lapse this morning. :sad: ;-) this is probably the first time ever, and it's because we've switched him to a low-potassium food that will be easier on his kidneys: merrick's before grain turkey. low carb and low potassium, but apparently not as delightfully delicious as his beloved fancy feast. he ate enough of it, then went and made sure anya got into the CPC without him, and eventually ate a little more of it. i think we'll persevere with it, but i'll see if i can find anything else that will work and taste yummier to him.
yesterday we took him with us to celebrate DD's birthday and he discovered DD's cat, jackson's bowl. jackson never finishes his food, so punkin took pity on him and made sure jackson got into the CPC. unfortunately, jackson's bowl was full of dry crunchies. that took him up to 371 before i stopped testing last night and just figured we'd wait it out. he seems to have recovered now.
i wanted to share that i did hear back from Dr. Timian at CSU about punkin's increasing dose needs. she said that was not cause to be discouraged, that cats had taken as long as 19 months to go OTJ and we are only at 9.5months. *sigh* so on we go. he's at 9u now - a 3 dose flirt with 9.25 and a 30 brought us back down to 9.0u. still better than it would've been without the SRT.
