If you can capture the image URL in photobucket, bring that copied url here and paste it. Now hightlight it and then click the Img button above the edit window and
your image will appear here.... no click to go anywhere needed!!
I captured your image's address and here it is:

Yes, that blue eyed beauty is my cat! He is a seal point, bi-color Ragdoll. I adopted him in '08 from folks who could no longer care for him. He is a joy and makes me smile each and every day.

I'll take it a step further and suggest you might be a good candidate for an Adaptive Servo Ventilator (ASV or SV) machine. If you are seeing significant pressure fluctuations, that are also on the high side of things (I was at 14-18 cm for a good while), it may indicate you need a range of therapies that an ASV machine can offer. Furthermore, if you are not getting into REM sleep, it could very be sleep staging induced central apneas that are arousing you. I now realize that I have quite a lot of these, enough to be clinically significant. The ASV machines can deal with these as well, and allow you to get a lot more REM sleep. Discuss this with your doctor. If they decide to do a bilevel titration on you, they should be ready to try ASV as well.
