I'm glad to hear she's not ignoring you anymore! you're probably right, she wanted to tell you she was not so happy that you were gone for a while!

But don't worry, she will never forget you. I had a cat who stayed at my parents' home when I went to the University because I could not suddenly take him in a very small room and let him inside all the time. After that I lived quite far from my parents's place, and even after several months, he always recognized me when I was back he behaved as if I've always been here, sleeping with me, asking for food in the middle of the night...!
