Laura's Babies

Yes, it's true. I been keeping a secrete from all my PT friends for awhile now. I decided while on the boat the last time, that I would leave my babies at home, in their OWN house the next time I go to work as the vet suggested I do a year ago. Ever since I have been home, I been working on things to cat proff the house (if that is possiable), trying this and that to see what I needed to do. Pulled out the self feeders and waterers to see how they do with those and made some modifications to the kitty cafe to accomodate those and keep them steady. I have had to make changes and alter plans since they (the babies) are showing me what needs to be "fixed"...They are doing well with the kitty cafe's and the modifications for the free feeders and waterers, Amy even seems to like them better now.
Seeing how long it takes Amy to settle back in and just about the time she does, it is time for them to go back to Kevlin's and we start the cycle all over again. Now, Giz with this heart murmur and needing to keep her stress levels down too, I think it is time to give it a try. Mike (whom they ADORE) and Rie will be dropping in to check on them and tend to their needs. The parts I like about it the most is they will be close to their vet, won't have that long car ride, have their perches, beds, toys and all the comforts of home and MY bed, should they decide that is where they want to sleep. Rie made sure to ask me if she will still get to keep Chester and I told her she could.
This first time is just a trial to see how they do and if it will work better for THEM... this will be a permant arrangement. I haven't mentioned it here until I talked it over with Kevlin first and we discussed it today so I am free to tell all of you. I just think it is time to try it and see if it helps Amy and keeps her from bouncing from horriable to good. I think they will be happier, I even bought a timer for them to have light at nigh until around midnight and been using that already.
So, and feedback? Any ideas on how to pull this off SAFELY for them?
