Thanks fo all the payes and wishes.

This evening, I went in and vacuumed in that bedroom. Mandy has a routine, she sits at the very top of the cat perch while I do the room; then she hops down and sits in a corner while I clean the perch.

Chestnut stayed curled up in the pet cube on the floor, while I worked around him. He did raise his head to see what I was doing, but then just settled back to sleep.

This is NOT like Chestnut at all, he HATES the vacuum. Normally he snarls at it a few times, and then moves to another spot. As I work from room to room he continues to follow me around the house. And periodically reminds that vacuum who is boss!

I wish I knew what more to do for him. I just can't see spending $1200 for the MRI. Am I wrong? Maybe I need to rethink this?
