Moving with cats...

...is almost as hard as getting them in the first place...just shorter.
The Kitty Krew is safely nestled into their new home and adjusting well.  The youngest 2 seem to have adjusted quickest, I think because there was no scent of the older 2.  But, 2 weeks after the move, everyone is settled in.

Well, they were anyway until a new foster, Fancy, showed up at the door (literally as she was dropped of by Greg Willey instead of me picking her up).  There is a fair amount of anxiety and hissing/growling being done.  I figure they'll adjust in a few more days and she'll be on the road to her new home within 3 weeks.  Fancy was exposed to a virus and needs a safe place to build up her immunity and my crazy home is quieter than the shelter environment.  I can already tell this girl is going to be snapped up quickly when she makes it to the adoption floor!  She's a beautiful long haired pastel Calico.  If we weren't full up on cats here, I might consider her an option.  But, she has another human waiting for her, my job is to make sure she's ready for him/her.

Why do vacations....

end way too soon?

My husband and I just got back from a 7 day cruise with friends. It seemed like it took forever to get here (OK we DID book a year ago...) and it seemed to end in a day.

If you've never been on a cruise (and I hadn't until now), I seriously recommend it. A week away from housework, cooking and, yes, the internet and cell phone, did my brain and body some good. You can get internet on the ship...I'm just too cheap to pay for it!!!  The food was awesome, the service perfect.  And everyone was so nice!  It really is like living in a small town on the ocean.

But, reality eventually rears it's ugly head. From the looks of things, the kitties were not too happy that we left them for 12 days. Alpha kitty may not forgive me for many a day....the baby boy kitty must have given her a difficult time.
