Poor Persia. To her its just a major disruption of her domain with no
explanation. Not to mention I'm sure the whole procedure has made her
mommy a bit tense and not as reassuring as usual.

At least us humans have the advantage of knowing some things just have to
be got through to get them over with.

Won't Persia be amazed when some of your/her things arrive from Tennessee?

She will indeed be surprised! She'll have her pyramid bed back (I was
so stupid not to think to bring it with me.) At least she won't have to be
boarded this time when I go away. My neighbor will be doing reciprocal cat
sitting

My oldest brother and his girlfriend arrived Sunday morning to pick up
the furniture from [my] house after my mother's death. Things haven't
exactly gone smoothly. Let's just say I'd reserved a rental truck (think
UHaul) but when circumstances required me to put it off for a day they'd
already rented the truck I'd reserved. (No, I wasn't charged for it.) I
was calling an alledgedly National toll-free number. They found a truck
some 250 miles away for me to pick up (round trip)... you've got to be
kidding me.

Long story short, I did find a different rental company (NO THANKS, I
don't need suggestions! It's Settled!). I can pick it up any time I
want. They know what the meaning of RESERVED is, unlike the other place.
But because the weather down here has been nuts (torrential rain) I don't
know if that will be tomorrow (I sincerely hope so) or Friday.

Poor Persia, of course, freaked out when they arrived on Sunday. She hid
under the bed. She ventured out a couple of times, as far as the living
room (which is right outside of my bedroom), only to dash back in. There
has been a lot of packing of dishes and tchotchkes going on which is
quite noisy. And my brother is taking the bedroom set Persia [I've] been
sleeping on since she got here last May.

This morning I moved the night stands out of the room, and a bench by the
windows. (I moved the cedar chest over by the windows so she can still
get up and look out.) The dressers are going. She was hunkered under
the bed, WTF is going on? I keep apologizing to her and talking to her
soothingly. This is soooo disrupting her life.

Just wait until we break down the bed she hides under. I'll have to shut
her in the bathroom. The bed from the other room and a night stand for a
lamp will (temporarily) be moved into my room until I go and get my own
furnishings. The poor kitty girl has a few more days of this to endure.

Purrs for everyone. I don't know when I'll get back online again....
maybe next weekend.
