So sorry to hear about your traumatic trials. Staying up all night often renders things surreal. Lack of sleep makes it all that much harder to sort things out. It it's just the cats, well let's be honest, they're 15. How much longer are they going to live, anyway? (Please don't take it the wrong way, we lost our 17 1/2 year-old cat recently.) But, he's always known you with the cats. Why is he suddenly citing them as the problem? You've done all you can to please him by moving the cats downstairs. Sounds like HE needs to do some growing up, some compromising, or some rigorous inner work. Just because he's a counselor doesn't mean he couldn't benefit from therapy. That's just a lame excuse. My 2 cents, and nothing more.
