Where Were They?

Well, it turns out not all of them were under the bed - once the painters left, Banshee and Lucy drifted up from the basement... Where are they now? Sanctuary! Not willingly, of course, but the human took up 8 saucers full of FancyFeast - Lucy ran right up - and then opened the bedroom door and directed the rest of them up the stairs. Of course, the place where they always want to go when you don't want them to go there is now not in the least interesting or desirable. But eventually they all went, and the human does not have to worry about paws on wet paint, etc. It's very very weird, actually.
