THANK YOU! Love, Bean

I don't have any cats, but I can feel your pain!!! There is nothing worse than being woken up what seems like a thousand times a night...I hope you find some answers!!

Cats really hate change. And Bean is not adjusting well; he was there first.

I think your idea of finding another place for Sunny's crate is the best idea, so Bean can have his basement back.

Sunny is young enough to adjust. I hope you can find a place on the main floor for her.

I know you love Sunny dearly, but Bean should be allocated "squatter's rights".

Thanks. I was just kidding with the drugs. I would never drug him or any of my animals just for convenience. We won't even give Sunny anything for her car sickness...we just keep trying to work with her.

I have to agree that the reason Bean is crying is that he has been displaced. With cats, relocating a litter box can be a traumatic event! So think about long term where you want Sunny to sleep at night, and try moving her there now, so Bean can have HIS place back.

Now, what if the place you want Sunny to be in . . . Bean's old place. I'm not sure WHY Bean can't be down there when Sunny is down there in her crate.

Also, with Bean's crate, can you turn the gate facing the wall and put it close to the wall, so even if he tries and succeeds in undoing the latch . . . the gate can't open. May need something heavy behind the crate so he can't push away from the wall (I wouldn't put ANYTHING past a determined cat!)

You say he is an indoor/outdoor cat? How about fitting a cat door? Just a thought.
