That's crossed my mind too.
Originally they wanted me there by 3:30 or 4:00 Saturday so they could check me in to the new apartment, but today they told me if I arrive late they'll leave keys out for me. That way I could sleep later on Saturday.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, tommyrot, go you! Taking two days sounds like the smart move if you are already worn out from packing and making decisions and so forth.
It occurred to me just yesterday that it's kinda fucked up that I can say in all reasonableness "it's only $2000" about a potential loss of revenue due to a decision made in my work process and have everyone just nod like, yeah, that's not much when my paychecks are less than that.
Capitalism, man. How are we doing on getting rid of it?

Should I tip the movers?

Our wings are not tired.
I would. Amount varies on how much of a pain it is to move the stuff. Like sofa/bed up stairs vs boxes on level ground.

There are three of them. $40 that they can split?

I let Squeaky out of the bathroom. She's freaking about the empty apartment.

Poor Squeaky, animals don't care for the whole moving thing much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Many calming pets to Squeaky. Her house disappeared while she was on the litterbox!

The last time I moved I tipped $100, but they had to move furniture and about a half ton of collected comics and books down from one 3rd floor walkup and up to another one, with a side trip to store the couch that wouldn't fit in the door of the new place.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think I have PTSD from moving.
I believe it. I never want to move again.
So, leave early and drive eight hours straight with the kitty? Or find a motel that takes cats and do it over two days?
Depends on your tolerance, and the cat's. Leo and I drove 8 hours straight moving from NJ to VA, and he did fine, slept in the crate most of the way.
