THANK YOU! Love, Bean

I agree, move him back and crate the pup. He feels like his spot was taken over, and he was misplaced

Dont worry, it will get better. Also try and play with him for about 30 minutes before bed. Laser light is fun, so is "da bird" cat toy

ooh...I just got a laser chase.

I think we've also left off one obvious solution -- which is that YOU ought to have the drugs at night!

Seriously, though -- I do think letting Bean have the basement back is probably a good thing to try. Very best of luck with whatever course(s) of action you take!

Hugs,
Diana

LOL! (I must admit, I've thought of that too)...Thanks for the well wishes. I am actually looking forward to tonight with a solution in mind...Sunny upstairs with us and Bean back down in HIS basement

[Catty1]

Well, yes - isn't that why we all buy a house with a certain feature? It's because it is for the CAT!

Sunny will enjoy being snuggled and Bean will have his whole basement back!

And YOU will get some sleep!

[MoonandBean]

That whole plan sounds lovely

Thanks for helping me see Bean's point of view. So much change in a short period of time...when you're too close to a problem sometimes you can't see it.

UPDATE: FROM BEAN...

THANK YOU!! To all of my friends here at Pet Talk. I tried and tried and tried to tell Mommy how unhappy I was to lose the basement but it was like I was talking Siamese or something...she just wasn't getting it. Then, last night, something changed. I came in from outside at 10pm...Instead of running in mom's room to eat and then dash back outside, Mom picked me up and brought me down to the basement (MY basement). She showed me where my food and water is (hmmm...that's where it USED to be...why are you teasing me?). I got confused and ran back upstairs. She went and got me and "put me downstairs" the way she always used to. Hmmm...this seemed familiar. Now, mommy doesn't know what I did all night...all she knows is she heard 1 little meow from me and that was it! What I did was inspect every inch of my room that that stinky little puppy has touched. There's even a new entertainment center down there for me to explore. I may have even slept some. Everyone in the house slept. Mom got up at 5:45am to let Sunny out and I was waiting on the top step,in my usual spot, to come up...quiet as a mouse. Then, I ate breakfast and went outside for my day. I even checked out Sunny's new swimming pool (Moon joined me for a little bit as he's allowed to walk the yard with me...just no further...silly Moon).

Anyhow....THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! and MEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Bean

[mamaducky]

Well, now -- THAT'S what we're talkin' about!

So glad that all worked out for you and sweet Bean -- and ESPECIALLY glad you were able to get a full night's sleep!

HOORAY!

Oh Bean, I am just catching up on things and now read that all is RIGHT in your world . . . er, BASEMENT! again. Whew, humans DO take training, don't they? I am SO pleased to see someone has a problem RESOLVED. Oh and about that new entertainment center? Please do NOT chew the wires, ok? Hope you keep right on enjoying that basement for many many years!
