I forgot to tell about something that happened two weeks ago. We were playing her Tunnel Sliding Game but she slipped and fell on the jump up part of the game. I don't know what happened but she missed the grab onto the Playhouse and landed on her back on the ONE SPOT of the wood floor that isn't covered. (it is covered, now)
I was upset, but she didn't seem to be painful after it, and went on to continue to play, but only with the small curved tunnel**, not the whole Game. It may be she just can't safely play that Game anymore, but I'm not sure. After all, later in the evening she was Thundering Around the House, flinging her body around and up on the stair-step bookcases and who knows what.
Queen Eva has not played that part of the Game since that happened 2 weeks ago, but she has invented a modified version of it! She still gets her run and flop and slide, but we skip the jump.
Also a few weeks ago I put a portion of yoga mat under the rug where this curved scratcher lives, because she's always thumping her body to the floor so hard, I worried the rug itself wasn't enough protection. She supervised the process, and then for two days after would not play with it, but now I think she's discovered it's more comfortable and is playing and thumping her body down and sliding hard, just as much as ever on it
Yesterday she timed her pee and poop perfectly and I was able to do her monthly nail trim, and get a weight, much to her annoyance lol.
She's down an ounce which is okay I really do like to keep her at 7 lbs, but not much less than that so I've increased her portions just a tiny bit.
She did not hold a grudge after the nail trim and weight, in fact she played the new version of her old sliding game with great vigor for over five minutes!
I've spoken with the vet about the changing formula and they've sent in the new order. There was the usual road blocks, due to the new laws, but I timed it just right, I have just started her most recent refill, so that should last well over until they get done with all the bureaucracy and get the new bottle to us.
The goal is to have the new formula alongside the old for a few days, slowly introducing the new, in place of the old, to make sure she adjusts okay. Hope the taste is the same. I get the unflavored for her and it, to me, has a sightly bitter taste, which doesn't seem to bother her. I will taste the new version as well.
