Needy Cats

 Even though we have nine cats they aren't that vocal!

The only time they make a lot of noise is when they are fighting or when they think it is feeding time!

The past couple of weeks how ever they have be meowing almost all the time, especially if there is nobody with them!

Fred seems to be the worst. If he can't see one of us he will cry until one of us goes to him!!! He loves to be petted, usually this quietens him down, for a bit!

Fred yesterday shouting at something!

The other one who has become very noisy is Alan. His noisy time is bedtime. The cats get a last feed just before we go to bed, between 10 and 11pm. We then have to separate the cats, putting Alan. Steve and Frodo it the corridor, the other cats are in the living room, it's the only way to stop them fighting! Most of the other cats settle after that but Alan sits outside my door and meows. I don't let the cats in because they have a bad habit of peeing where they shouldn't. Most nights I have to go and sit in the corridor to keep Alan quiet.

I asked about this on a Facebook group for cats, I was told that the cats might be picking up on the stress in the household. I'm really stressed, totally stressed. I'm feeling overwhelmed with all that needs to be done. I'm trying to figure out schedules, who is free to take things to the other house, who can help with cleaning and packing up here.  Also the mixed emotions I have about all the changes!

I'm at the point now where I just want this finished!
