Those pictures are so typical of a new entrant in my home! I can really relate to it all, and I LOVE them!

I don't understand - you leave them alone for 28 days?! Someone must come in to empty litter, right? I left 4 alone for 21 days a few years back. i set clock radios to play for an hour in the morning and another for an hour in the evening. I had the cat sitter stop in each morning, and a friend each evening. By the end, the cats were really missing companionship. Each morning, the cat sitter had to place all the pillows back on the sofa, chairs and bed. Each evening, friend had to do the same. The last 3 days, the cats started clearing the furniture off of vases, picture frames, statues, knick knacks, whatever they could find. Everyone was glad when I got back!
