It's nice to have you back.
Your new place sounds beautiful and I am so happy to hear how everyone has settled in. Your Tiffany is doing the exact same thing that our Mooky did when he was a kitten. He is 4 years old now and he is STILL doing it.
He comes for some petties, then takes off to eat a bit, comes back for more petties and takes off again to eat. He will do this about 3-4 times and he does this everyday. At first we just thought that he wanted to make sure that we were not going anywhere, but, who knows what cats are thinking when they do quirky things like that.

I love Tiffany's little nickname, Little Boo.
