I think leaving him where he is would be the best since the prior night reading of 6 hours post-injection was 88mg/dL.<br /><br />Sammy wanted to venture out his morning. The first cat he saw was Karai. She was dropped off pregnant at my home about a year ago and has slowly adjusted to the fact that there are also other cats and dogs there. She has personal space issues and is very hissy at shows with new cats, even though she is a really nice cat at home. So Karai sat on the top step, bowed up and bushed her tail out, then proceeded to hiss at Sammy. Sammy didn't approach her but looked at her like she'd lost her mind. Other than that, no real reaction. He continued sauntering down the hall and wanted to explore Karai's (my son's) bedroom. I can't wait to take him out more this weekend, but I'm willing to bet he does fine with other cats."Venitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258079796889993844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464270896711704774.post-6893408765928534482011-05-14T07:05:49.374-04:002011-05-14T07:05:49.374-04:00Rachel's 5/12/11 note about Sammy: "As of...Rachel's 5/12/11 note about Sammy: "As of May 12th, Sammy is settling in nicely. His appetite has increased slightly. He was bumped up to 1.4U on the evening of May 10th. I did a spot check last night at 6 hours post injection and Sammy was at 88mg/dL. I spot checked again this morning just prior to his normal injection and he was at 278mg/dL (he had eaten since the last time point also). I will do an 8 hrs post injection check tonight. Sammy is very purry and at my feet when I go in his room. He got another good look at my German shepherd this morning but wasn't in the least upset. I think he is quite secure in his room."Venitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258079796889993844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464270896711704774.post-61938889477315769922011-05-10T09:01:56.298-04:002011-05-10T09:01:56.298-04:00Sammy stretched up against my leg last night and w...Sammy stretched up against my leg last night and was doing the kneading thing so I picked him up. He was very content to sit in my arms and be petted. He rubbed his nose against mine and was headbutting for more lovies. He's such a good boy. He is clearly interested in the other kitties outside his door.mysticwolf652002https://www.blogger.com/profile/18061900863644688227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464270896711704774.post-15809944635859415072011-05-09T09:14:27.858-04:002011-05-09T09:14:27.858-04:00Sammy is showing interest in what is going on outs...Sammy is showing interest in what is going on outside his room. I think I will introduce him to a couple of my cats this weekend to see how he does with other cats. He saw the big german shepherd I adopted last weekend peeking through the door this morning. Sammy backed up a step but although he seemed surprised, he wasn't upset..........once I see if he's cat friendly (which I suspect he is), then I will dog test him. He loves people, kids included, and purrs like crazy when I enter the room. He head butts to get attention and loves his ear scritches. I have yet to hear him cry......he just purrs and purrs and purrs. He will make someone a lovely, sweet low-maintenance kind of pet.mysticwolf652002https://www.blogger.com/profile/18061900863644688227noreply@blogger.com
