5th - 7th nights of night time free roaming for Cotton

Last night was Cotton's 7th night of free roaming without supervision around the house and we did a little experiment to prove our initial hypothesis that - he totally loves the AC (air-conditioned) and it can calm and makes him very obedient.

On his 5th night, we decided not to turn on the AC because earlier in the evening, it was raining heavily so the weather was cool - no point to turn on the AC. We also thought it was a good opportunity to observe Cotton's behaviour on AC-less day.

When we released Cotton from his playpen that night, he dashed to his favourite spot at our room - within our expectations. However, after a while, he went back to his playpen and so I had to "invite" and "escorted" him to our bedroom. I slept quite early that night at about 9pm or so while Uncle Hubby slept later at midnight and he told me in the following morning what he observed Cotton between 9pm and 12am.

Uncle Hubby said Cotton was initially lying on his favourite spot and after near an hour or less, Cotton became active and went to the other bedrooms. Then after a while, he came back to our room and wondered around before going to the other bedrooms again. He did this 'strange' behaviour for a while and before Uncle Hubby was turning in for the night and went to the kitchen for a sip of water, he saw Cotton in one of the other bedrooms sniffing stuffs around, seemingly searching for something.

At the middle of the night, Uncle Hubby was awoken by Cotton's activity who was in our bedroom. According to him, Cotton was digging around his favourite spot and at one point, hit/kick our bed devan quite hard. However, I was too deep asleep that I had no knowledge of the hitting bed devan incident. Uncle Hubby said I slept like a pig....hmph!

The next morning when I awoke, Cotton was at his playpen - quite unusual compared to his 1st - 4th night previously. He was at his playpen looking around behaviour before he hopped to his litter box for his breakfast and rested at his playpen.

On his 6th night, we turned on the AC for the night and Cotton did not enter immediately but continued resting at his playpen. This time, I did not personally invite him and waited instead. Indeed, after 5-10mins later, Cotton entered our bedroom and wondered around for a while before he rested at his favourite spot. That night, he roamed in-out of our bedroom quite often but we did not bother much and continue our sleeps. And in the next morning, guess where did I find Cotton? Yea, you got it - at his favourite spot in our bedroom. Haha
