Back more to normal, went to pick up our pussies at the Pussy Spa where they spent their Christmas. The vet felt sorry for us and did not charge us the extra time they had to stay. It would have been A LOT of money...
Now they are "pussy footing around" following in our steps and MEOWing for attention to be picked up and petted; obviously their love tanks were on empty. However, their manners have NOT improved... Tried to empty my case with the fabric in it, BUT that was a BAD idea today! They jumped in and we had a real free-for-all because my trying to toss them out of the case was a great game.
Save me and take me away Calgon......
