Randi, fortunately, Cookie does not howl at night while I am sleeping, but only during those brief times when I am awake, Othereise she does this howling, like right now, while I am up and about the house. OK on my furbabies liking the new house. There is plenty of room for them to play, sleep and wander around. Whenever I let some of them outside, they usually stay in the immediate area, but at times I have problems with getting them back in the house. I have greatly curtailed their adventuring outside, except when one of them sneaks up and darts out the door before I can do much about it. Amy and Tiara are the worst about this. I need to get some window boxes, because they like sleeping the afternoons away in window sills. and there are too many of them for the available sills (It is more things to do around this place.)

Concerning Tiger's weight; no, she weighs about 8 lbs, which I know is not too heavy for a cat, but when she jumps on my shoulders or on me while I'm in bed, from as height as much as 3 feet, then the 8lbs seems heavy enough.
