Back from vacation

I was on vacation last week as my parents were in town visiting. Boy did my animals hate me for leaving them. I never leave them, seriously, like never! I go on vacations and bring them with me....I've snuck the cats into several hotels...they travel pretty well. When I came back into town they really showed how much they missed me, especially the cats as I have never left them. I left Nori with a friend once but that was like over 1.5 years ago and never left her again so the bengals didn't know what the heck was going on. Now Nori won't leave me alone. She is my little spit fire sassy pants miss independent never wants to be held kind of cat. Now she is on my lap as much as she can! The pics below are of the last several days of her being super cuteness.

As I type this, she just hopped up on me! I love this cat! I know it seems silly, but this cat never wants to sit on my lap so its special!

Even Rowan spent some time with me

And this weekend had almost summer like weather! The cats and dogs were in heaven being outside and sun bathing

I even started a project to (hopefully) keep the cats inside the back yard. We tested them in the garden area and none of the cats were able to get out, however we will see what happens when its all done....they may get desperate and figure a way out.

Even Hunter missed me...well I think he did as he doesn't want to leave me room! Declan seems indifferent (which is so like him). He is maturing (getting neutered this Thursday) so he only seems to have one thing on his mind these days. I hope this stops soon, as he is being such a little sicko....non-stop sniffing/licking all the cats "you know whats" and doing crazy meows and calls (he is only 6.5 months old!)

Below you will see a pic of Nori from right before I left on vacation...I think she has some kind of allergy. She has been inside almost all winter (her choice) and then we had a nice day and she wanted to go out. When she came in she couldn't stop itching and rubbing her eyes. She made marks and scabs all over her pretty face. Now I have been keeping her inside to heal and all the scabs are gone and healing. She sneaks out occasionally, but as soon as she comes in I wipe her whole body down with a cold rag to help remove things on her fur that might cause her irritation. My vet referred me to a dermatologist today, but when I called they are not open on Mondays so I will try again tomorrow.

She is looking and wanting to go outside, but settles for my lap instead.

I took my parents to one of my favorite stores while they were in town. Its a local dog and cat emporium. They carry lots of speciality items for cats and dogs. I bought Allie (my grandmas bengal/Declan's sister) some of my cats favorite toys...you can see her sleeping with one of the toys I got her.
