He shall not be moved
As Stinky told you all, we are having painting and work done in the house. Just about everything upstairs was moved temporarily downstairs, and it looks like that famous last dolly scene in "Citizen Kane." :P Boxes, crates and junk as far as the eye can see. Stinky had to sniff everything and walk around and on everything, of course -- you know the rule where if something is moved to another place, you have to make sure it didn't also turn into something else? Well, what I call Stinky's "Command Center" is a big daybed I have in the living room. He loves it, and spends a lot of the day rolling around on it, lying on his back, waving his paws around, doing "upside-downy head" and other cutenesses. Well, after he finished his inspection, he retired to his "throne" to pass his day in his usual cute imperturbability, surrounded by absolute chaos. Well, today, the upstairs is done, and the downstairs is being painted. So early this morning, we moved stuff out of the living room, and covered other stuff with dropcloths. Stinky sat on the edge of the daybed, watching us indulgently. He can watch you work all day. The daybed is a double thing-- there's another bed underneath that pops up, and goes beside the main one, and it was open. Stinky particularly likes the wide open spaces. So I had to close this up, and lowered the second bed, which Stinky was on-- to slide it under-- and he just sat right there, bemused, like it was an interesting ride. I slid the bed almost all the way under, and he stayed right on his spot, just flicking an ear. So I worked around him-- moving stuff out of the room, covering stuff, and he continued to watch me undisturbed. I mean he probably should have been disturbed, but he wasn't. When I finally did close the bed, he just hopped to the top mattress, and resumed his position-- a very relaxed one-- there. I pushed the whole thing to the middle of the room to cover it with dropcloths. Whee, this is fun, Mommy. He was now in the center of a room, in the center of a wide, empty bed, while we were knocking ourselves out, and he was loving it. He was stretched out to the max, stretching both sets of paws out east and west. None of this gave him the slightest inkling that he should have moved. My (RB) Mimi would have been out of there and down the basement at the first hint of disruption of her life, and pretty PO'd at us, too. I felt bad, but I finally had to remove Stinky from the bed-- otherwise I would have had to cover him with a dropcloth and let the painters paint around him.
