Susan, you just gave me a good laugh this morning when you wrote >>(If I was concerned about the condition of my house, I wouldn't let myself live in it. << Same here :) Del

Definitely get the cat back. Hope she never has a child, or a husband or live-in boyfriend, or a houseguest who stays more than two days. (If I was concerned about the condition of my house, I wouldn't let myself live in it. Just rope everything off and look at it from afar.)

She's not home enough and "is too concerned about the condition of her house." So she will bring him back to me and he and I will try again:) On 3/25/07, catatonya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: maybe give her a t-shirt with your scent on it, or a towel or something with your other cats' scents? t Kelley Saveika <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Nina, he can sleep whereever he wants. She says he gets in bed with her for 20-30 minutes, then gets tired of that and gets out of bed and starts pacing and crying and does that until 5 am.. It almost broke my heart. She says she can't live without sleep forever, and I see her point. He apparently stops crying about 5 am, and she gets to sleep for 2 hours. That's not a good schedule for a working person. She works half a day on Friday and took a nap after getting home. He allowed her to sleep then. She says this weekend she has been sleeping from 5 am to 11 am, but she cant' do that during the week. Everyone isn't us, Nina. I wish they were, it would be so much easier. I can't keep all these cats either - if I do I can't do rescue. Though I am frustrated and aggravated right now and not wanting to do rescue at the moment.

Since he's affectionate during the day, and you hinted that she's not giving him attention at night, I'm guessing he's calling out for reassurance. Do you remember me telling the list about Sophie Matilda? I had her confined to a bathroom because she's cat aggressive. She cried day and night, (but it was worse at night), and would only settle down when I was with her. This went on for what seemed like years, but was really only days. I got very little sleep, (sleeping on a bathroom floor is not so great for my aching back either). The scariest and most upsetting part for me was wondering if she would ever stop. She actually cried herself hoarse. Well, she did settle down and start to feel safe and at home. Give us more details. Is this kitty free to sleep with his new mom or is she locking him out of her room at night? See if you can get the adopter to give him more time. You know, set a time limit to see if once he acclimates to his new surroundings and knows that he's home for good he'll stop crying. If she'll give him just one more week, he may be just fine. What's one week without sleep compared to the rest of their lives together? Poor little guy, he deserves to have his human give him this consideration, I hope that she does.
