We’re back! YAY! The fur-children were VERY happy to see us Friday night, and we were equally happy to see them. The cat-sitter from Reigning Cats & Dogs always sends us pictures, but it is just NOT THE SAME! We missed them terribly by the end.
Howsomever, it looks like some trauma bonding happened while we were away. Here are Lucifer and Luna, firmly ensconced on top of Galen, as Lucifer gives Luna a bit of grooming and she just looks blissed out. And who can blame her? Except possibly her brother Tuna who seems to be a bit left out of the proceedings.
It was terrific to have a bit of a break, as all the posts were queued up before we left. (Sincerest thanks to both Galen and the lovely Amy Daltry for helping to make that happen!) But it is fantastic to be back home. Dorothy was right, “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like HOME!”

We missed them something fierce! It’s getting harder too, as Lucifer gets older. And we worry about what they’ve done while we’ve been gone. They brought one of the cat window seats down. Again. With Big Tuna around, this one isn’t going to last half as long as the first one did!

I always love seeing what the ‘kids’ are up to. 🙂

So far, they’ve been following us around and sitting on us, in between naps, that is. We didn’t get dissed at all but no one is being all that trusting that we’re going to be staying put for a while!

Welcome home! It’s been a while since we had any pets, but when we did, I was always glad to see them again. Alas, the same can’t be said in reverse. At least twice, one of the cats left an unpleasant present on the bathmat in our bathroom — clearly deposited after we got home, and probably meant as a commentary on our absence. Eventually they were glad we were home, but they were usually stand-offish for the first few hours, or even the first day or two.
