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.

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