On Wednesday, I loaded the rental car with the cats and their accoutrements and my airline luggage and drove from Greeley to my house in Fort Collins. Shindy cat had a lot to say (and loudly) during the car ride, including "rao!" "yowr!" and "mmmrrraao!" I tried putting her on my lap (in her soft carrier) while I was driving, but that only meant my ears were that much closer to her vocal chords.
I tried talking to her: "oh, really?" "and then what happened?" "I knoooow." "you're okay." "we'll be there soon" "just a little longer" "RRRAAAO!" But as usual, nothing seemed to soothe her.
We arrived; I brought in the cats, all the stuff. I set up the litter box, and let them out of their carriers. For the first time, they didn't bolt right out, but sat in them for a while. I think this last transition was just too much. First I was packing in Ithaca, then we moved to Phoebe and Thorsten's for a few days, then we had the big travel day, then we lived in Greeley for a few days. I think they liked staying in Greeley. But tough nouggies - I want to be in my house.
(I swear I just heard this on the radio: "Hi! This is Skip, the proctologist ...")
Got the high speed internet from comcast, the local cable company. Bliss: cats, internet. What more does a home need?
