Happy to see Patches is completely back to normal with his early-morning hi-jinx

He jumped up and got in bed with me this morning for the first time in weeks. I believe we have conquered the fleas and I got new bedding so he had been acting a little standoffish.

I took my now deceased sweet rescue girl on vacation for a week. We stayed in a room all our own, she had the run of the room and nothing bad happened while we were visitng a friend, but it took her almost a year to get back to (cat) normal when we returned home.

Cats... lol

Patches then. It took him the better part of a month and we only went across the road to get to the vet.

Maybe the duration of their weird behavior is proportional to the distance traveled?

My girl was in the car for 14 hours each way. LOL
