Sounds like our elder cat. When we changed the couch, she lectured us for 3 days. Surprisingly, she's taken to moving very well. She might not have, if we hadn't spent 3 months with my dad in New York. But after going someplace where NOTHING was the same -- she even got new dishes and a new litter box! -- to arrive someplace that had HER STUFF, her cat tree, her litter box, her toys, and all the bedding and clothes that smelled like home... she was like, "ah, finally, they listened to me."

I feel for your pain, though. Dealing with a cranky cat is never easy. I find myself apologizing a lot. She never accepts my apology.
