Very cute thread! I have enjoyed reading how everyone is met when they return.

Coming home from work:

Sasha: "ohhhhh, you woke me from my kitty cat nap. I need to stretch and now you need to rub my belly."

Tabitha: "MOM, You're home! I slept all day, but can you feed me now? Okay, pet me first, but come on, let's get in the kitchen and you can feed me."

Coming home from vacation:

Sasha: "YOU'RE HOME!!!!! Oh, I missed you.... please pet me. Let me smell the suitcase. Where have you been? Tabitha got sick on the bed. Where were you? I played with the kids. They are fun. Where did you go? You're not petting me anymore. Why?"

Tabitha: (while sitting at the top of the stairs, watching...) "Oh, so you decided to come home. Well, I hope you had fun. Sasha has been a BRAT! She chased me everywhere I went. Please don't leave us home alone again. I will come down and see you later. I want you to feel guilty for a while longer."
