Update on Us

Hi! I’m enjoying a snippet of sunshine. I’ve been in my new home just a little over a week, and I’m a happy camper. Pierrot’s been here just a little under a week. The lady was so worried about our reunion because we had been away from each other for over a month (Pierrot was flown out first and stayed with the lady’s parents). Our reunion was noneventful much to the lady’s relief and astonishment. We received several comments in our last post asking why I had to be boarded and not Pierrot. Well, I have a back problem that causes me to have bathroom problems. I also have a lot of fears. The lady’s parents aren’t cat people and she just couldn’t risk any accidents at their house and she also was concerned for my wellbeing and anxiety. Because of this, Pierrot came to California first. For her parents not being cat people, they really surprised her by falling in love with Pierrot. He could do no wrong in their eyes. She was so worried that he would climb their furniture, get into all their many knick-knacks, jump on the fridge, and meow in the night. They expressed their delight in him and dismissed all her concerns. The marveled how he jumped up on furniture and never knocked over any of the figurines. They laughed when they saw white hairs on their black stove. When the lady told Pierrot to get out of the cupboard, her dad said, “Oh, let him stay. He likes it in there.” They loved to talk about what he did that day and what he ate. They talked about how much they would miss him. The lady felt guilty when it was time to pick him up last weekend. I was willing to make a sacrifice and let Pierrot stay there, but nobody listened to me.
