When the cats disapprove of the new place

Educand moved with her two cats:

... Last night, they cried when they heard me coming down the hall to come home, and they held off crying for the first part of the night, but started up again with the volume cranked up another couple of notches at right around 4 am. They were still crying when I left for work at 7:30. There is no consoling them, and they are both apparently on hunger strike as well. ...
