I think mine spend the nights in my tall spruce. They are always going in there. A friend told me that he saw one hanging upside down off the perch of a hummingbird feeder and thought it was damaged and went out and touched it and the poor little thing fell to the ground. He picked it up and took it into his house and soon when it moved around , he took it back outside. He said it then flew away.. I told him that the bird was ok , it was just sleeping.. Said he never knew that.. Now he knows enough to not disturb it again if that happens..

I am laughing out loud at these stories and videos. It's been quite a few years since I've had a pet, but I've had a few over the years. The dogs just did doggie things like steal the roast beef off the counter. Scruffy the mutt we found would sleep on the bed when we weren't home, which he wasn't supposed to do. I'd walk in the back door and hear a thunk from him jumping off the bed. When I went upstairs he'd pretend to be sleeping on the floor, in spite of the bedspread being messed up. Worst of all were the ferrets. They could and did eat everything. It would go in one end and come out the other in the shape of intestines. I have hot air heat in my house and they used the ducts as their own personal trail system. It was so funny to be sitting in the den and a ferret would be scrabbling behind the duct cover. My son had taken the cover off the duct in his room and they used that to get in and out.

LOL. Lisa, your post really threw me for a loop. . QQ. I would let her choose if I were considering allowing her free reign of the house. But if she's upstairs, she'll be babygated on the top level. It doesn't matter how tired she is, there is ALWAYS enough energy reserved to play with the cats. And of course, being cats, they're most active at night. So she needs some sort of restrictions. It wouldn't be half as bad if she didn't yelp and scream when she chases the cats, but she does, and I am NOT listening to that all night, lol. I guess I could always put her travel crate up there, and lock it, at first and see how she does. If she really puts up a fuss and wont settle down, then I'll move her back, or keep trying. It'll save the hassle of setting up the gate and such before hand, if it doesn't work. Laura, thanks for the suggestion. But Coda's little quirks fit in just fine in our happily dysfunctional furry family. I wouldn't change her for the world. She's very reliant on routine, and we have a pretty reliable system set up for when we have to break her routine. So barring any unexpected loud noises and crashes and bangs, she's generally extremely happy and not fearful of much anymore. Sue, funny you say that. Anytime we leave codas travel kennel out after a trip, I always find my black cat passed out in it. We used to leave the cats travel kennel out, and she'd always sleep in it. She's too big for it now, though. Now she's taken a liking to sleeping wherever the dogs are sleeping. Her little 8 pound body can take over a large dog bed and remove any other body on it, in 5 seconds flat, lol.
