Samantha got stressed and angry when we went on vacation.
The night before we left she saw our bags packed and ready to go in the living room.
She peed on the hall carpet to let us know what she thought of that.
My friend and her daughter petsat for us but said that Samantha would always hiss at them when they tried to pet her and she kept giving them the cold shoulder.
At least she would eat for them but not as much as she normally does.
After we were gone for a week, Samantha decided that we had been away long enough and she jumped the barricade to pee on our new carpeting downstairs and she also peed on the bathroom rug.
When we got back home she was happy to see us and wanted lots of petting but got mad when my husband decided to take away the bathroom rug to wash it.
She peed on the hall rug right in front of us to let us know she was not happy!
Finally that night, she got her rug back all nice and clean and she settled back into her normal routine.
Now she's all happy and spoiled again, just the way she likes it.
