I remember when dear lil Bowser moved into his "apartment" **DOWN** in the Basement ...
And realized he was NOT "with the gang" who was UPstairs ...
OH MY, could he *whimper* & *whine*!!

We managed to ignore his pleadings; and he finally (after a couple of noisy nights
and a few UN-happie shouts down the stairs by New Dad) got the hint
and just settled in each night with a required Bisquit Treet.

It didn't take long for Bowz to "graduate" up to the BunkRoom; although he never had
any desire to jump or try to climb up onto the BigBed.
(Uhh-Ohh ... LES ... gosh we *MISS* Him! )

You ARE going to keep *crating* him at night, aren't you?
He's so used to that routine - be a shame to get him out of a nice habit.
He's never going to be truly "alone" down on the first floor. I've never had all 9 cats up in my room at one time. Even in the crate on the 1st floor, he'll still have Furbee, Jorgie, Boris, and possibly Calloway with him. Zachariah at times as well. Finae and Sophie are my two "momma's girls" so they tend to stick to me like glue when there's something going on, and Honey, he'll be fine as long as he gets his canned food. The world could end tomorrow, but as long as he's had his canned food, he'll be fine with it all.

I think once Woody gets a little more "mature" I'll let him come up on the big bed. We've been up since 5am today, and we went for a 30 minute walk and he pooped twice. Definitely got to get him enrolled in obedience class. He's really not bad walking on a leash, but like a typical hound, his nose is to the ground sniffing everything, lol. He'll have a ball up at my mom and dad's house! Soooooo much to sniff and investigate!

Ok, taking a short nap since it's still not 7am, and it IS the weekend! I can handle getting up at 5am, walking and playing, and then taking a nap for a while, lol!

DEFINITELY keeping the crate routine!
