John when you said "miss the cats" I had to laugh about a situation of stupidity/miss the cat.

I was in Japan & Hong Kong for R & R with a group of officer wives with our hubbies in VietNam.

after 6 weeks in the orient, I was en route home & had a 12 hour "connection" in Hawaii. I could have stayed as long as I wanted virtually free.. but left because I was worried about my white Persian "fluffy" who my folks were "babysitting".. when I got home, cat just looked at me & walked away - it was at this point I realized I should have stayed at LEAST a week in Pearl Harbor etc.

Oliver(my bow wow) goes crazy if I am away from him for 2 hours.. would think it was 2 years

Dolly, dogs have no sencse of time....cats do. When you have the audacity of leaving them alone or with someone other than yourself, they "get even". I would be ignored for at least a couple of days by Lishan and Sefu would tear something up and ignored when they were in the care of someone else, which was seldom. Cats only pretend they are independently, but they are dependent, just like some of us girls. I love cats.
