Oh boy, I'm sure feeling terrible about taking this week long cruise to the Caribbean while Olivia has to stay home. I'm feeling extremely guilty. We have had this cruise planned for about a year and a half which was before I got Olivia from the shelter. At the time I had never had another cat to call my own, the closest I had to a pet was 6 goldfish. I thought that it would be easy to have her stay with someone and I wouldn't feel even a tad bit bad. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. I know she is going to be staying with an amazingly wonderful animal-person who has an old cat & little dog of her own,
but I still am having a hard time even thinking about leaving my precious love-buggie with someone else while I go and have fun. :crybye:My goodness this is hard. I think anyone who has animals knows the pain, but I never imagined it being this difficult. I think my biggest fear is that something will happen to me on the flight there or on the flight back and I won't get home safely to my baby Ollie. I'm trying to keep my mind off of it and think positive but it's a difficult task. I think this is the end of my little blog, for now at least.
Olivia is going to get her own vacation. She'll experience new things too. Cats are sorta' easier to leave than dogs. Dogs are like "OMG you're abandoning me!" cats are like "see you. Give me food." And she'll maybe neglect you when you get back but she'll be fine.
Thanks. That's true about dogs, I guess you could say cats seem to be more independent. Olivia usually doesn't neglet me when I come back, I certainly hope she doesn't this time either..
