    I sure do! I work hundreds of miles away and am gone for 2 weeks at a time. Bobcat keeps me updated on the kitties and I talk to them on the phone (I do all the talking, and they do all the purring). When I get home, I just can't wait to get some cuddling in. Being cats, they look at me with apparent disinterest as if to say, "Oh, were you gone?"
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Sonia and Kuhio, that must be soooo hard to be away for several days or even weeks! I remember how terrible it was when I was seperated from Luna and Lily when I was in hospital two years ago!

    Lizzie and Donna, I totally understand!!

    Kim, you're really lucky to work from home!

    I have noticed when I spend the weekend at my bf's house, I get really homesick for Chuck.

    Do you miss your cats at work?

    Oh yes for sure & I work 10 - 11 hrs a day at work & cant wait to go home & then I pick up each one & cuddle & whisker kiss && then all end up in bed with me all night.. I will admitt it helps to have pictures of all the babies with me here at work.. Oh I could not stand it if I had no pictures with me at work..

    ~~~Thank You Very Much {Kim} kimlovescats for the Grand Siggy~~~

    Lisa, I do the same on the phone! I talk to them and I hear them purring (well, mainly Jasmine because Peppito does not purr so much).

    Kirsten, I receive by e-mail every morning some pictures that my partner takes with the webcam before going to work. For example, this morning I received this cute picture of Jasmine:



    Isn't it cutie? Of course the pictures are not always so good, sometimes I see just an ear or a butt

    Oh, this is so sweet of him!
    Unfortunately, I don't have anyone at home to take pictures for me, and I'm not allowed to use the internet at work anyway (only for job related things).


    Aki, I understand what you mean: When I was in hospital, I was REALLY homesick because I missed my girls!

    I really do miss my cats when I'm at work. Especially when I have a rather "aggravating" day. At night when I'm watching tv, they are all around me, purring away. I love them SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!!!!!

    WELL.... The first week back at work, the missing of them is so bad that it is a outright physical pain. I find myself reaching down from my chair (like I do at home) to pet them forgetting where I am... OOooooo, that hurts. I have a ton of their pictures printed out as well as a ton of them on my laptop that I take with me and I talk to their pictures every day, telling them how much I miss them and that I WILL be back to them as soon as I can... There are times I just sit in my room and cry because I miss them so much..

    I am hoping that by leaving them at home this time, they will not miss me TO bad..

    Of course I miss them
    I had a bad day today at work- so I talked about it to a co-worker who said today was like that for her too.
    So I decided to go over to her office to show her some of my Imagestation albums to cheer us up
    Worked well
