Go sleep where you are happy. God knows I've spent multiple nights on the futon because if I sleep there, Devi doesn't get all stalkery and I end up with 3 cats peacefully sleeping on me ( which doesn't happen if I leave the bedroom door open. Apparently,the bed is a territory issue.) But I like my bed!

The move will shake things up, a lot.

Go sleep where you are happy.

I crash less on the couch because, in my bed, there are delineated places for each cat. Puppycat is behind the knees and Kittenish is against my chest. On the couch, they don't have quite the room to Have Their Place.

But, yes, lisah, sleep where you and Frank are comfy.

I'm going to crash out down here at least while he's sleeping peacefully. If (when, really) he gets up in the middle of the night I'll take him upstairs. thanks, guys. I'm kind of a mess right now.

Kind thoughts in your direction, lisah.

Oh lisah, I'm so sorry. I know what that's like.

Oy, raccoons are having a party on our roof. Seriously loud. It sounds like people running around up there. How much does a full grown raccoon weigh? Like 30 pounds?

I'm sorry, lisah.

Burrell, wikipedia says 8 to 20 pounds, roughly.

Oh, lisah. I hope you and Frank had a good night's sleep.

Me, too.

Mom says she didn't have a good night, but says she slept well enough -- I'm not sure what her criteria is, then. That she wakes up feeling awful? How many times she woke up? This is why my Mom is a crazy-making patient.

I'm sorry, Theo.

Frank slept pretty well. He got up a couple of times but just to resettle himself. I slept crappy because I woke up every time he moved.

he's pacing like crazy around the house now dragging his back legs. It's kind of upsetting but there's nothing I can do to get him to stop and settle down. I'm bringing him up to his vet in a little while. His vet is there doing surgery today so he'll be able to see him and then give me a report.
