I will do a similar thing, but with the master bathroom. And blue painters tape across the door, to really get the point across. Also, as soon as we arrive, they will be confined in the master bedroom with me . . . for a couple days, to unwind before exploring the rest of the house. And one of their missing trees is already in that room!
Folks, a brief update . . . I read and enjoyed so much here, Monday and Tuesday! But I didn’t much participate because movers were here . . . packing hauling, etc. (Cats were safely shut away in my bathroom.)
They are now deeply concerned that All The Stuff Has Been Stolen! No more cat trees! Regular happy spots gone! Human sleeps on the floor (air mattress) now! (At least it’s a good one, and very warm with an electric blanket they love.)
We will be here until the end of next week, when further indignities will be practiced on them . . .
Congratulations on the New Arrival, “John”!
