This thread is way too funny!!!! I am printing it out as I type to bring it to work and share it with my co-workers or should I say my co-cat owners!!!! Yes, I must say that my brood get mighty uppity when the suitcases come out......they know.......and they are never impressed with the cute souvenirs!!!! They don't understand that immigration does not "allow" fish or fresh catnip or the like [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]!! They know that swimsuits mean cruising and cruising means ocean and ocean means FISH!!!!!

So of course, they don't forget and they do retaliate.......I like that camcorder idea!!! I would love to seem them in action.

I have often thought that when I leave this world, I would choose to return as a cat!!!! As long as I had a good home, that is!!!! What a life. Eat, sleep, eat, sleep,! Roll in catnip....sleep, eat, chase birds and mice, roll in catnip!!!! Purr for master once in a while....sleep, eat.......lay in the sun......


What a life


Sail on......

Joan

I think our cats are looking forward to our cruise almost as much as we are. That is because our 150-lb Rottweiler will be spending the week at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Hopefully I will have some Heineken left when I get back LOL.

In fact oddly enough the one of MAD kinda looks like ME...anyway these are classic reactions of my co-workers when I tell them --I'm outta here when they realize they have to do my work while I'm gone...

Too Funny...

Our 5 get babysat by their favorite babysitters....my sons. They don't miss us one little bit...and we get the "treatment" when we get home,,,they ignore us. How DARE we leave them behind....

Better get prepared...36 days, and we leave them again [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

When we go on vacation or neibors come over and feed them. This time them pampered them. When we got back they loved us for about 15 min until we feed them. Then they hated us for a week. Now when our neibors come over our cats go nuts. STUPID CATS!!!!!

I'm a mess when I leave my 2 kitties. Last time (only 1 at the time), Samper stayed at Granpa's house. I made sure that he (Samper) emailed me every single day so I knew he didn't escape.

This time, both are staying home and having a neighbor check in on them a few times a day. They will both email me daily so I know that they aren't up to wacky antics like a house party.

But if being gone for work and coming home is any indication of the reception I'll get when I get back from my cruise, I can expect "starving" (hardly! they just want the wet food) kitties, who are very vocal, who eat and then snuggle up together on the bed, relieved that Mommy does, in FACT, always come home!

Silly kitties!

My Kitty is so spoiled. A friend of DH laughed when he found out that Notail had an electric litter box. He'd really laugh if he knew we just got her a fresh flow water bowl (the one that runs the water through a filter and keeps it flowing so it doesn't stagnate) [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
It really keeps the water fresh longer.
Oh, well. That's what cats are for- to spoil [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

We will soon be leaving our kitty's home alone for the first time. Our son and his girlfiend will be checking in on them, but otherwise they will be on their own. I just wish I could take them with me. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

BOTTOM LINE: Our kitties have it MUCH better than the doggies! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Mine are so spoiled, it's ridiculous! (did i spell that right? both versions look wrong after "few" FUNship drinks today! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] )

SERIOUSLY considering the electric box... do you LOVE it or is it just a novelty?

SUE SUE: I have a cheap frame with a photo of my 2 kitties snuggling on the bed together (with copies of the pic at home, of course)... I take the cheap (NO GLASS) framed pic of them on the cruise for my nightstand, so they aren't so far away. This might help your 'separation anxiety'.

MY anxiety comes with potential escape... neither has claws to make it out in the big bad world against 'vermine' (like strays, doggies, squirrels, etc.)... I'm terrified they will be hurt in a 'skirmish'.

I also email them to see what they're up to. 5 minutes on line per day relieves me TREMENDOUSLY!!! My kitties tell me ALL about their "BUSY" days via email. ("Hi Mommy, we slept, ate, and slept again, but in between, we had a wild house party with the neighborhood strays! We hope you don't mind that the liquor cabinet is empty... but do the math! We're OLD ENOUGH to have a little "Kitty Cocktail" even though we're only 3 in people years!")

I like to sleep well knowing they are doing what they do best... snuggling each other IN THEIR OWN HOUSE~and not in the 'wild' of the Detroit Metropolitan Area.

My kitty is really going to miss me in about a week [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]
I'm going to miss her, too.

What a great thread!! I love the stories, sooo cute!
My cat gives me such cattitude when I get back from a trip. I walk in the door and I get that whiny meow that says "where the heck have you been???" and "How dare you" You gotta love her though. I learned a new trick to get her into the carrier before dropping her off with family. Every time I used to get the carrier out she'd dissapear, but now I have my husband grab her first then I go get the cage.
She's not happy about that, I must say. I wonder how long it'll take before she totally catches on and never again let's one of us pick her up. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

As an official CAT HERDER, it won't be long before your cat catches on. I have to try a different technique about every two ROUND UPS and I'm herding 2 cats. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
We are heading out Monday for a land vacation and I'm not really looking forward to the ROUND UP tomorrow. Seems BUDDY always manages to scratch me on an arm while he's trying to escape. So I look "real good" on my trip as long as I wear long sleeves...

Your Notail [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] could pass as my Molly's twin sister. The last cruise we went on we come back to a messed up house [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif[/img]. Molly had a party, beer cans, empty cat treat bags, cigarette butts everywhere and I told her not to let anyone smoke in the house, indentions in all the bedspreads [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif[/img] where her buddies made themselves at home. I have threatened her with staying with Grandma this next cruise [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
