Gracie here: This week we have a contractor coming to enclose an area for a music room. There will be French doors to close it off and soundproofing to keep the noise down. We think it may be our caterwauling room too. A good place to exercise our lungs. The biggest issue is that it will take a week. That’s a week of Sasha being weird and staying under the bed or in her new hidey spot in the basement. We hope it goes fast as the lady peep is still recovering from her accident. She has learned from us that napping is a good thing. Hard to nap with strangers in the house.
Aside from all the furniture getting squooshed together to make an area for the work to be done, it’s been a quiet week. Peep is getting better which is good as our purr machines need a break. Here are the lovers.
Morgan wants in too!
Have a good weekend. Burp. Sorry too much catnip.

Purrs are the best medicine for peeps…
Hope there’s sanctuary somewhere quiet for the redo…grrrrs will happen.
But French doors and a night time gymnastic adventure course of furniture just for cats until it’s done. Sounds almost as good as catnip…not really…there must be catnip

Yes. When my husband practices guitar he was able to close it off so it didn’t disturb anyone.

Gosh he’s way too old to play in a band! š He played in a band to pay his way through college. He has kept up playing but it’s just for himself and occasionally the family. It keeps his fingers limber.

Well, you never know … for example, I listen to the Mitch Albom Show every day and he belongs to a rock group called “The Rock Bottom Remainders” and they play several gigs a year, mostly for charity. They are all authors, like Mitch Albom. The band includes Dave Barry (74), Steven King (73) and Scott Turow (72) and several others.

We will only move again if it feels like EXACTLY the right fit ~ location, price, size, amenities, etc. Which means, the market must cool down a bit first. Trying to buy now would be “frustrating.”

Do the peeps play instruments, or do they just listen to other peep’s music? Hopefully, the work being done won’t take too long or cause too much fretting and such. Good of you and the rest of the cat clan to be so kind to your lady peep.
