My kitty is on prednisolone and he takes 2 1/2 mg a day in one dose.  I give it to him in the evening because I have read in several different places that giving it in the evening matches kitty's natural hormone cycle.

The dose varies by kitty.  You want to use the smallest dose that will control the symptoms and that is different from kitty to kitty. If your kitty is still having symptoms then an increase in dose is reasonable especially since he is on a very low dose.
