I'm glad you have a considerate cat, Ken, a rare condition in the feline species. I'm having to do a 'sleep study' too ,although initially it will be at home with a monitor strapped on a bracelet to my wrist, I'll only need go in for a night if the results occasion shakings of heads. i've long reconciled myself to the fact that my snoring has never been alleged. Yes, a wise cat you have indeed!
