Beneath the cover of darkness

So where was Bob at the time?

A few feet away on the rug.

Beside being a safe haven for Ebby my bedroom really is too small for Bob to be in, in fact I have a pet gate up in the doorway. (He has never slept on my bed, just will not get up on there.) There is just enough room for my bed with a set of drawers fitting snugly on each side, a wardrobe, and an old wicker blanket chest against the wall at the end of the bed. Ebby's commode, smallish scratch pole and a cat tree type thing is stationed under the window and in front of one of the wardrobe doors, her food & water dish being on a small table next to the wicker basket.

The bedroom leads on to the living room and I never fully close the door but rely on the pet gate. It has a cat flap in it which Ebby will not use, she can jump out but can't get back in so I have had to tape it open in case she gets stuck on the wrong side with Bob at her heels.

At bedtime Bob will start out in his crate then wander over to look through and see if I've got in bed yet, if I haven't he gets a goodnight pet. He will then either lie down in front of the door or go back to his crate, rotating through the night as he feels like.

Ebby will either be in the bedroom with me, (but never on my bed) sleeping on the wicker chest, the cat tree thingy, her bed just by the door or will spend some of the night somewhere in the living room. On the bigger cat tree, behind the sofa, on the sofa, or behind the other l/room door. She also likes to spend some time during the night/early morning behind the blinds looking at what is going on outside.
