    Just a thought.....
    I would have done just that BUT I have to be there to let fire alarm dude into my apartment so he can confirm that the alarm is ringing. And unfortunately the one girlfriend I have that isn't working right now is allergic to the kitties so is unable to assist. So this is the best case solution.

    Well done indeed! Gosh I love coming to PT to see people that put their furbabies ahead of themselves. You are a fantastic Meowmie. Hoping all goes well and Diego will be fine.

    Well, the day for the alarm testing has arrived. I'll be taking Diego over to the vets shortly for his stay while the racket is going on. Hopefully he won't get too stressed while there. As soon as it's over I will go collect my boy and bring him home for a few whiskas treats and lots of loving.

    I hope that everything will go well. I also have the fire alarm testing to look forward to but it's not until Sat. March 19th. It usually lasts for several hours.

    It's over. Diego is home. All is good.

    He growled and hissed the whole time he was at the vet. We put his carrier into a large cage with a nice bed, litter box and bowl of water. I don't think he left the carrier the whole time. Nothing was disturbed. When I brought him home he came out of the carrier and basically said "hey mom, need a snack!". He got snacked up and is now having an snooze. Cali hid in the closet while the testing went on and is now wandering around like nothing happened, trying to figure how to get mom to loosen the strings on the Whiskas bag!

    Hopefully the divorce is settled and we have moved into our own house and out of this condo before they test again.

    Thanks everyone for your support. You're a fabulous extended family!! We truly appreciate you all.

    Welcome home, Diego!

    Glad that is done, Gayle and your kitties are back to normal....FOOD, mom, FOOD!

    And yes, hopefully you will be in your new house before the next alarm testing is done!

    So glad all is well! I was wondering how Cali did during the testing.
    I also hope you are out of there by the time they test again. You deserve it!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    SO glad to read Diego is home and that he and Cali are back to normal.

    Nothing can be wrong when the fur kids demand FOOD!
