After our inevitable travel woes--one misplaced suitcase and two stranded-in-a-closed-parking-garage cars--we finally made it home (suitcases, cars, and all) to the kitties, who we'd deserted for an entire week (with a friend checking in on them, of course). It took them a while to decide they'd stopped hating us, but we finally won them over. The suitcases helped. Our cats love suitcases! As soon as I had one unpacked, I put it out in the hallway and Monet immediately staked her claim. (She did let Cymbeline have her turn... once a second suitcase was out for her to investigate.)
