Do your cats get stressed out when you’re on vacation?

I'll let you know as soon as I find someone willing to take on the Brats and I get to go on vacation!

Seriously, we have never gone on a vacation either! I really have no desire either because I like to be home with my kitty-babies The times we have had to leave for short times and when we went to Japan last year - our son and DIL - Chris take care of the kitties so I have no worries. I come home to find they prefer her!! She has even made friends with Eliot who hates everyone.

Getting ready to go somewhere does cause them stress though. They see the suitcases and KNOW something is not right. When we have returned - sometimes we are ignored for a time, too.

catcrazylady and I have joked about trading houses!

Yes!!!!! My mom says Lightning walks around MEOWING at her all day until I get home just when I'm at school!!!! He always gives me a kitty smooch and lets me hug him, then he ignores me like usual. He is such a cat. "Now that you're HOME, I can't worry about you! It's in the kitty rules!!"
