Casper and I went down to the basement this morning and I showed her the
furnace. I explained to her how it works and why it makes noise. Then
I had her hit it and tell it "Bad furnace! You stop scaring me in the
night." This seemed to work.
(Actually, she's been much, much better. She still will do a little cuddling at a furnace noise, or will say, "That's the heater." She also asks what every other noise is. "What's that noise?" "It's Penny using her litter box." "What's that noise?" "It's a train." "It's in the distance." The phrases she keeps in her head! We have a book that mentions a train whistle in the distance.)
