All has been quiet, until now. I'm going away next week, and since Rigby & Izzy love my boyfriend, I thought it would be nice for them to stay with him for the week (instead of being alone, and the cat sitter coming once a day). Well, no surprise that Izzy went into hiding at his apartment (that's par for the course with her). She'll make her way out when everyone's asleep. but Rigby - talk talk talk talk ! he did not stop yelling ALL night! and ALL day! i'd grab him and he'd nuzzle me and purr, but then run right back down and start yelling! What's he want to say??? It's a bigger place, he has more room to run and explore... I'm hoping he's calmer tonight...

What sweetie pies! Hope things calm down tonight.

Eddie was on a real tear early this morning. Don't know what got him started. Both he and Emily were asleep on the bed. Next thing I know I hear him tearing down the hall, into the guest room. Then back down the hall, around the corner and down the stairs. He was gone for about 5 minutes--with occasional random noises. Then, here he came. You could hear him tearing across the dining room, up the stairs, into the bedroom and onto the bed. At which point we were all wide awake...

Then he walked around the bed for a minute, settled down, and acted like nothing had happened.

I'd love to know what's going thought their minds when they go off like that. I'd also like to know how a seven pound cat can make such an incredible racket...

Carol, Emily, & Eddie

Things are calmer already. Rigby has decided he's king of the house and lounging around now. every time he finds a new thing to climb (the fridge), he yells till i come look. lol. guess he was just talking this whole time about how exciting it is!
Izzy - hid in the lining of a chair bottom! but she came out and brushed against my hand for a while. she's settling in quick. i'm glad - now i can leave and feel ok.

That's so funny -Eddie - they can wake you up and if it were anyone else, you'd be mad. but never at a tonk. so cute! and such tricksters! pretending nothing went on.

yes, 7lbs and SO LOUD! I can hear Rigby a mile away... how do they do that?

There are times when I swear my 75lb greyhound is coming down the stairs and then out from behind the wall comes Alastair...

For such graceful animals Tonks are freakishly heavy footed...

If anybody figures it out, let me know. Liat can make more noise than a herd of elephants just running down the hall.
