My floppity loppity’s usual routine since he came inside in autumn has been sleeping in the sofa downstairs or in front of the fire there in the living room through night , but during the day after the kids have gone to school or sometimes beforehand he comes upstairs, where he will stay until we go to bed that night.. he just realises what time it is when I come upstairs and get into bed and he has a zoomie then off downstairs he goes. Because of this routine we brought his food, water and litter tray up here because of how well house trained he is, he can hold his wee all night until he comes upstairs in the morning for a drink and a wee.
Now this has happened before where he goes downstairs one evening and spends an entire 24 hours down there, but just as I start to panic about dehydration he makes his way upstairs to drink, pee and eat.
On Christmas Eve he did it again, he went downstairs on Christmas Eve Eve night, didn’t show face upstairs all Christmas Eve, on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and yesterday I got worried so took his water, his food and his poop pot down— he practically dived into the fresh water when he came out of his hidey hole. Just as I start to assume his new hub is downstairs, this morning I see a little face peering round the door resulting in me rushing downstairs for the his amenities before he makes do with the sanctity of the corner.
I keep thinking he’s downstairs and he’s maybe hearing noises and that’s startling him from doing his routine but then again when you into the living room with him he comes out to say hello and for pets.
Does this ever happen to anyone else’s bun?
