He's probably just really concerned about the changes in the livingroom. Cats are notorious for not liking change. My fatty Allen would do the very same thing. Only my cats are VERY used to change since I am always moving something around. This past week I moved everything around in my bedroom... and Mr. Allen decided to take a nap when I had my mattress and box spring standing on their side (he was napping on the mattress side, only since the mattress was standing on end, it was flat... and whoohoo, a new place to nap on the old bed! ) Anyway, Mr. Fatty Allen was not happy when I woke him come time to put the mattress back on the bed! I heard lots of vocal opinions on that and he ran around afterwards checking everything out. I think it met with his approval, though with cats you can never really tell!
