It hasn't hit me yet, as Liam is due here as usual, but it will probably be like a smiley - ghosthouse when Liam & Laura have gone. Still got my very loving smiley - cat though, who's fussing round me like she has forgiven me for taking her to the Vets alreadysmiley - loveblush

Pierre de la Mer ~ sometimes slightly worried but never panicking ~

are you kidding? cats couldn't care less as long as they get free food, a thorough smiley - cuddle now and then and what else they want smiley - biggrin

and i happen to love that kind of independence smiley - ok

don't get me wrong, i like dogs too, but they are such a hassle while a cat usually can look out for itself if it hasn't been spoiled

i've been living alone for nigh on 12 years now, AGB, and i still enjoy the upsides of it

smiley - pirate

Make the very best of the time GB, and pamper yourself. 'Me' time is a new thing for you so don't waste it.

Have a lovely break.

It's good to hear that you're forgiven - not all cats do this, in my experience. Some stay mad for hours.

I know what you mean. I always considered the best part of the day to be the time after leaving mums house. Or before arriving, perhaps. But certainly not during.
