Vacation
I always feel just a little bit guilty when we go on vacation. We always hire someone to come over each day and feed the cats while we’re gone, but other than that they don’t see anyone the whole time. And I always wonder if they worry that we’re never coming back. I’m sure they sit at the window a lot, just waiting and waiting.
I’m always relieved when we get back home and they’re still right there and happy to see us. It was especially cool last summer because Georgia immediately went up to Hazel, gave her a hug and said, “I missed you.” It always makes me happy to see her get along with them and seeing how fun it can be to have pets. Sometimes I wonder if she’ll have her own webcomic some day…
You are truly out numbered ! Meghan, Georgia, Hazel, and Olive and another baby daughter on the way.
Congratulations to everyone. Such a happy time !
So true. Someone suggested I get a dog.
SO darn sweet!!!! Love it!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
My cat, Sarge, missed me too when I went on vacation. The neighbors would come by and check in on them while I was gone and he’d run to the door when he heard it open then sulk away because they were “not-Dad”. Then when I did get home he’d sniff around my luggage and car and follow me around meowing happily.
Cancer stole him from me two years ago and my other cats show less enthusiasm for my return. They’re still happy to see me, but they are not as open about it.
Aw, sorry to hear about your loss! Sounds like he was a great one.
One of the best. He let total strangers pick him up. My neighbor’s toddler never petted a cat before (allergies) and he laid down on his side and let the kid touch his belly. By the time they moved out the kid was able to pet Sarge and wasn’t intimidated of cats.
