 CS> Charlotte grabbed one of the cats chew toys (a very sturdy one) and
 CS> slept through the night that way once.  Next night, it wasnt there but
 CS> later I distinctly saw a cat drop something in and she got quiet.  I
 CS> checked.  Same chew toy.  Guess she was keeping the cats up .

Such intelligent felines...!  :)   Maybe she was hurting their ears...?

 CS> Seemed harmless as it was a very sturdy thing, shaped a bit like a
 CS> rattle but had some give to it (hard rubber, solid) and small nubbly
 CS> texture.  That and a bit of baby orajel (careful to not use too much)
 CS> worked. 

That sounds like some regular baby teething toys, actually...  :)

 CS> A friend used a baby bottle filled with crushed ice and said it worked
 CS> for her little ones to help out.

The cold helps to numb things, too.
