I just sent my baby off, Greenbean, to spend the next two weeks with my parents. She knew something was up, extra treats, catnip, snuggling, a dish of cream and 15 minutes of brushing. I packed her up with her favorite toys, her brush, her treats, her catnip... ideally I would have liked to go to the house with her so she wouldn't feel abandoned, but there was no time for such luxury. Very empty house now. :(
