Yesterday was the first day of our new tile installation in the upstairs bathroom. You have to understand that our three kitties are very shy when they hear someone at the door. When Eddie came over to start the tile work and came upstairs, all three cats ran into the upstairs guest bedroom and hid under the bed. That is not their normal hiding spot.
The first part of the demo work involved lots of banging and loud noises, which had to have been scary for our little hidden trio. The bed they were hiding under was a mere 10 feet from where all of the loud destructive action was taking place. I managed to rescue them one by one and encourage them to hide under our bed downstairs (their normal hiding place), though I think enough damage had been done. They were quite traumatized all day with the continued noise and the 'strangers' in the house.
So today, Eddie returned to continue working on the tile and I went to check on the munchkins. I was pleased to find our three kitties in our 'safe' bedroom with our little brave Miko sitting proudly on top of the covers. Her motherly instinct had kicked in again...
[I have blogged in the past about how Miko has 'babies' that are socks and toys that she likes to carry around the house and put in her 'nest'. Her nesting instinct is pretty strong. She has her primary b&w baby (a pair of Thorlo socks), her pink baby (a pair of ladies Nike running socks), her frog baby (a soft frog kitty toy), and her hedgehog baby (a little hedgehog kitty toy). Sometimes she adds in a dirty white cotton sock or a brown trouser sock of Chad's to the litter of babies when she can find one.]
...Miko was sitting bravely on top of the covers next to her main b&w baby. Seems she thought her baby would need protecting from all of the construction noise. What a good motherly instinct she has.
