Oh boy. The ’soothing music’ approach failed. From about 21:30 last night Random Cat yelled and yelled and yelled and yelled and yelled. When we went to bed he was still yelling, and didn’t show any signs of stopping. If anything, the cries were increasingly frantic.
Eventually I got out of bed and curled up on the floor next to him in his room. Immediate purrs and then silence. He lay next to me and slept.
So, we got some sleep, but I’m now full of I-slept-on-the-floor-to-comfort-a-cat aches.
I feel so guilty that this poor cat is so unhappy about being trapped in our house. If there was another way, I’m sure we’d do it, but he’s got to have eyedrops four times daily and we normally only see him once or twice a day, if that. Plus he’s got to be here to go back for the operation to remove the grass seed, and sometimes we don’t see him for days.
So, sorry Random Cat but it will be over soon.
