And We’re Off!

First of all, a very happy birthday to my brother!

Secondly, we’re so excited that we’re all (cats included!) able to spend the day with him. I’m so eager to see how our trip goes — and I can’t wait to report back!

Last weekend, I took the cats to “Grandma’s” (my mom’s) for a trial run. CG, who is accustomed to going there regularly since he was a kitten, was immediately at home. Ellie, however, had a bit more trouble.

The last time Ellie and CG stayed at Grandma’s was when my husband and I went to Costa Rica. I think the shock of a new environment and new people were a good deal for her, and although she did well over time, she’s still not completely comfortable there.

This time, I think she was happy to see I was staying with her, and by the morning of the second day, she was tumbling around happily and trilling often. She was still nervous about a few things, but for the most part she did beautifully.

So we’ll see how this weekend goes! We’re packed, prepared and ready to party!

Do you frequently take your CH cats on trips? How do they do? Please share in the comments!
