Noise!!!!!!!

If I did not know that our Nicholas was right here as I write, I would think he was living with you!!! Except for a few blotches of orange, he could be Bob's twin!!! Nicholas is nearly 10, and CAN HE TALK UP A STORM!!! Your Bob looks like a real love!! Have you tried ear plugs? I like the silicon ones, they work with a snoring husband, should work with a talking cat!!!

If you are not allergic to feathers, a very small, light feather pillow could help, too. I have found that a feather pillow will block out high-pitched sounds (though not bass-pitched sounds). I sleep on my side, so I just plop the small pillow over the ear that's facing up. It blocks out early morning bird sounds on mornings I want to sleep late - and it just might block out cat wails. I can't remember if I have tried it for cats.

Yep - go to your local hardware store and get the foam earplugs! They are comfy and won't drown out the smoke or fire alarm!

Good luck!
