Suspicious (Fuzzy) Minds

November 18, 2021 4:58pm CST
They know that something is up. They see me packing things. It's only a few pieces, very slowly. But I know that they know that there is something about to disturb the fuzziness. I am trying to be very cautious in how I do things. There is still a bit of time, so I don't want for the cats to be too focused on what I'm up to. However, the girl has moved several times; she knows what the early prep stages look like. The boy, possibly, is thinking short trip. The girl, however, knows that a short trip would mean faster packing. The bags would be packed by now, and they'd be getting stuffed into their carriers. So, she watches and waits...

No matter how sneaky I am, if the dogs catch me messing with my pack, they're all ears and on alert.

Do they then demand treats for the packing-induced trauma?

@wilsongoddard No. They just get anxious and start running around kind of crazy- kind of sad that they do that when I brush my hair!! OMG Mom is brushing her hair: where is she going???

They can feel the excitement you're feeling but they don't know why you're excited. I hope you'll have an easy time with the kritters when it's time to actually get outta there.

The girl might walk into her bag for me once I scoop her up and point her in that direction. Once she is caught, she is fairly quick to admit defeat on the matter. The boy, though... I will have to burrito that beast to get him into the bag.

@rebelann Last time that I had to put him into the carrier, I ended up grabbing a towel in the hotel bathroom and wrapping him up. I don't know how well a pillow case would fare, since he can dig like a dog when he wants to.

Mom used to get her cats into a pillow case then into the carrier, just a thought.

Haha - I don't think you are going to fool them for long.

The girl is harder to fool, because she has long experience with me. I think, though, that she's good with moving. There is too much noise here in the city for her taste, for one.
