The two steps down to our living room are a problem. He has fallen a couple times and we both chime out “watch the steps” to warn one another.

Now he stands, looking, rather like a cat judging the distance of a leap. Then to my horror, he takes both steps at once. I thought of laying 2 pieces of foam but we’d probably trip on them.

Any ideas?

Last I looked at the clock it was 3:30am. Awoke to pain in my arm at 6am – realized I was clutching the corner of the bedside table and I was hot.

Looked over the situation and Buddy is in the bed, on my side, leaving me about 12″ of room. Glance over at Wayne and he’s on my side, also.

Now Wayne is forgiven but not Buddy, well, maybe. He has been upset and confused lately. I never allow pets in bed, he has a towel to lie at Wayne’s feet.

Get up and try to push Wayne over to my side so I have a place – dead weight, can’t move him. Off to the guest room across from our door. The cat wants me, he is rarely sucky and very independent. When Wayne got up to see what was going on, I had to. Can’t leave him to reign alone here.

I tell you folks, the summit’s in view.
