As much as I would have liked to have seen that you brought him home, I really think you made the best decision. I forgot you were going to CA, and it wouldn't have been the best thing to bring him home, then you leave for a few days and he and Max are left alone together.

If you remember, we did almost the exact same thing with CJ. I saw him before we went on our Christmas vacation, even called on him on our way out of town. But we said if it's meant to be, he will still be there when we get back, and as is quite obvious, he was still there.

So, if it was meant to be, he will still be there when you get back and then you can see how things go. However, what this all tells me is that you are getting closer and closer to being ready to go back to being a 2 cat household, and that makes me .
