    Kitten Interference is continuing with her morning blood pressure. Oh, I remember why her blood pressure wasn't taken yesterday morning: As soon as she settled in the bathroom Mr. Man "asked" to be cuddled on her lap, which is what Mom did for a good half hour. Knowing that Mom loves to do this and that cuddling pets is guaranteed to lower blood pressure, I sat on the floor and waited until both Mom and Mr. Man decided they'd had enough.
    Dinner was four buffalo wings and a cup of heavily peppered cottage cheese. Mom had already told me that she was looking forward to "something sweet" tonight, so, about an hour afterwards I gave her a piece of the frozen chocolate cake and the rest of the ice cream (there was maybe 3/4 of a cup left). I also gave her an extra glipizide.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1810: Fairly good volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; easy clean-up.
    She has been arising and bedding down almost exactly 12 hours apart today and yesterday, both days at 1300 and 0100. Her naps have been lasting about 1.5 hours. She isn't moving much; we've been snowed in and although she loves the way our area looks and our home is warm and snug, she shivers internally at the sight of snow and is reluctant to move, much.
