What a great story and what a determined Mamma.

But I am a little worried about Emmett.  Ever since a week ago last Wednesday, when I had three workmen in the house making noise, he's been spending most of his days and nights in my closet.  He used to be in the living room window all the time, checking out the neighborhood, any passing bugs or birds outside.  Or on the arm of the sofa with his head in my hand, while my left side would go numb, as he took his nap.  Now if a neighbor across the street closes his car door, he's off to the bedroom, growling as he goes, and spends the rest of the day there, unless i lure him out with treats. 

I'm hoping it will pass, but it's been 10 days and he's still hiding.

Sorry I'm late answering this post.....but it is strange you should say this.
The house next door to me has had the builders in since March (big job!).
Since they have been there....Jack (my cat) is a bag of nerves.Though only a small cat...he always walked around like he was a Bengal Tiger!! Now every bump
and bang he doesn't know where to go or hide. He is most relaxed when evening
comes when the workmen have gone home. Jack now has a blanket....under the bed
in a bedroom farthest away from the noise. I'm pretty fed up with it myself now after his length of time.  >:(
Wanting him to come back... before anyone notices
part of the world has not moved...since he left.

Hi Sue,
Poor Jack!  I felt so bad for Emmett, it was like he just didn't feel safe in his own house anymore.  He's much better now, but if the dogs are outside and he hears them barking at someone or something, he goes trotting and growling off to his closet.  I'm glad Jack has a blanket in a place he feels safe...it's kind of like a kid afraid of monsters in the closet  :)

I'm sorry to hear about Jack, but glad he feels better at night.

Nancy, I'm also glad to hear that Emmett has made improvements!   I was wondering how he was doing!

He's as adorable as ever...I'll take some this weekend.

Since the dogs now stay in the crate at night, he sleeps on the bed almost every night.

I took half a day off to get tires on the car, so I came home for lunch and found him here...he's usually hiding in the closet - I like this better

He had his eyes open, but closed them at the last second...and he was making air biscuits  :)
