I just got back from Chicago and sat down on the couch.

My cats came to me almost immediately. I have Martini to the left of me and Holly to the right of me and they're both rubbing up against me. I guess they missed me as much as missed them! I was only gone overnight.

This is something new. Usually, when I come home from a trip, as soon as I open the door, they start coming down the stairs, see it's me and then go running back up the stairs! "Oh #@$%, she's back!"

How affectionate they've become in their golden years. This makes me very happy. My sweet, sweet kitties. ❤️

But boy, as they age, they soften up and get cuddly.

I guess I've always had dogs. It my case, it was the dog who was glad to see me, and the wife who 'sees it's me and then go running back' to her craft project!
