Apparently, cats do much better than dogs on planes. As hunters, their reaction to a stressful situation is to sleep so once the lights go out, that's what they do. Our 14-year-old cat, who made his paws bleed trying to claw his way out of the carrier (a carrier it usually took many tries to get him even to go into) on a 20 minute drive, was absolutely fine on a cross-country flight, just as his vet told us he would be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So what I needed for Chumley was a little hood?

What is even happening?
There isn't a storage place. There's just the apartment.
I meant the 'storage space'. Isn't there a little closet, or dead space, or what have you (I must have misremembered you calling it a storage space) where the landlord is always working (maybe on that roof problem that never goes away)?

Do you want to keep them? If not, why not just leave them on the curb?

Oh, yeah. That. It's my "office," part of my room. We use it for storage. It's kind of obvious, though, if we leave stuff there.

Oh, PS Emily: Once you live in CA and have bought a car and are a teacher, you can drive cross-country next summer too see people. THAT sounds fun.
Well, yes, but then I'll have to drive back as well. Which is fine, and I hope I'll have time to do that. I just thought that this was my window, what with not having a job and needing to get to the other side of the country, and it turns out the window's too small. So I'll hope that next summer will have a free space in it (ooh! maybe Pennsic!).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Every time I've ever seen a clip from that program, it's made her look CRAZY. This is just the poorly sung icing on the cake.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hunters respond to stress by sleeping? I didn't know I was a predator! Okay, maybe I did.
So if I throw a blanket over the cat carrier, will the howling creature inside go to sleep? That would be really really useful.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The towel over the carrier really helped when I drove the cats up here from LA. I was dreading the trip, but they ended up not making much noise at all.
