I've described the layout of Peanut's house before, which — except for toys — hasn't changed much since I first got him. Nor has his habits of using the perches.

Until these past couple of weeks.

Instead of climbing happily onto his "sleepy perch" (labeled "D" in this image), and settling down to sleep, he's started to climb off it and sit on perch "C." I've been totally confused by this. Thinking that he isn't actually ready to settle down to sleep, I've tried to have him step back into my hand, for five more minutes of Warm Toasties. But wouldn't you know, after five more minutes, he still walks onto perch "C," and sometime he doesn't want more Warm Toasties at all.

So last night I ignored perch "D" completely, and offered him perch "C" at bedtime. Peanut stepped up happily. Same thing tonight. Go figure!

So it's official, Peanut has a new sleepy perch — "X" marks the spot. The only thing I can figure is that I don't sleep too well, and get up in the middle of the night sometimes. Since the old perch "D" is right next to the path through the apartment, this new spot is more restful for him.
