Edwina's Secretary

... or perhaps I should say "Separation Punishment." My husband and I went away for five days. During that time Edwina was at home with my husband's son. He lives with us and Edwina is very comfortable with him. When the son picked us up at the airport the first thing he said was that Edwina had not used her litter box for the last few days.
When we arrived at the house she proceed to the dining room (the only place other than her litter box where she ever does "business") and made pee. Later that evening she made pooh in there. The next night she made pooh in there again. At that point we must have been sufficiently contrite because she hasn't done it since.
Although we have left her before for shorter trips this is the longest since our honeymoon three years ago. All I can figure is it was because during the couple of weeks before, Juy 4th and such, we had taken a few days off and consequently been with her alot??
