Thanks, Elaine! You are always such a fountain of good information!

Great reading. My cat has all those things -- cat trees, lots of people furniture to climb, a large home he can run through. Toys he can amuse himself with, a huge 12'x12' enclosure on the deck -- it's actually larger than the room I'm in right now, which has lots of steps, two cat trees. He prefers to lay on top of the 3-room at house out there. He is still bored unless someone is playing with him at all times. You can't wear him out. Peace comes when he decides to take a nap -- and there are days he does not nap at all during the day. Normally, he sleeps through the night with one wake-up call. Last night he was up every two hours. It feels like I have a two-year old child that will NEVER grow up! But I love him to death!
