Do you ever notice how upset pets get when you move furniture?

Did some deep cleaning in my living room today, walks, floor, fireplace, the works. Of course, this involved significant temporary relocation of virtually every piece of furniture in the room.

My poor dog always acts so nervous when I do this, pacing around and looking morose. Eventually have gave up and slept in the kitchen.

He was very relieved when it was all put back together.

the younger 3 of my 5 cats hid. The other two, the 11-year-old stayed in a cardboard box and the 20-year-old couldn't care less, even when the vacuum monster was in his face.

She would always go sit in the exact geometric center of the spot where the furniture was

She got all upset when I put a pumpkin on the front porch! She doesn't deal well with change.

And my cat notices every single time I change something in the house, even small things like a new picture on the wall or a decorative item on a table, she notices and inspects.

My kitty went on the deck yesterday to find all "HIS" potted plants gone. They had been taken in for the winter. He was pacing where they once had been, looked at me, and gave me the most plaintiff MEOW.

All my kitties have ben this way. Re-arrange two pieces of furniture and it puts them out of sorts. On the other hand, put fresh linens on the bed, and they love love LOVE it.
