Is that really you?

It took Kitty only about three minutes to come home after I did. She is a bit of a trollop (but I still love her) and I am sure she did fine with Austin. As I was starting to unpack, she appeared at my door, stared at me, and did not blink or move. She just stared.. I was able to go get my cell phone, walk back to near my front door, and take this picture. I'll do some posts about my Native Chicago soon. Being with old friends was a blast.

Whew! I talked to Uncle Austin, and he took good care of her while I was gone.

She is. She jumped in bed with me last night and we had an extensive petting fest. Not to be too edgy, but it was make up purr.

She wants to be sure it's YOU and you are not going to go away again.

I had not thought of that. I did get to talk to my favorite high school ex- while I was in Chicago. But I'll be honest with her about it.

She is in the corner, whispering in cat language~ ''Remember how you said you loved me, and would never leave me, not ever?? You lied.'' You've got some making up to do, dear.

I am sure kitty was happy to see you in her way. Nico's love is usually understated..but sometimes I do get the kitty hugs when I have been gone.

Kitty did jump in bed with me last Night for an extensive purr fest. It's safe to say we were both glad to see each other.

She is asleep outside my front door now. I think she knows everything is OK. Until I leave for Montana in July.

@TheHorse You should take her up to the cabin with you. She could rule the roost for a few days, catch some mountain-mice to munch on, and help you with your projects.

Pets have such an innate sense sometimes. Maybe they just have acute hearing but they turn up like Kitty did after you've been away.

I will correct you. It's more like "Are you sure you're my beloved Horse?" Had I been a stranger she would have run off.

She really is. We had a raccoon attack last night, so I shut my balcony sliding glass door at about 2 AM. She had her breakfast just now and then politely asked to go out so she could do her kitty business.
