I take my Madison with me most times when we travel, even camping. Harness and leash and she loves it! She is used to my Mother in laws house and is there a lot when I stay over.
Recently our family went on a vacation and I was unable to take her with me, or leave her with Mom in law as they came with. I called home and "Talked" to her over the phone on the second day as she seemed sad according to the house sitter. She licked the phone, rubbing her face against it and meowed, but it seemed to help. She seemed happier and cuddled with the house sitter like she does at night with me. When I got home, she loved on me for a half hour straight.
Last week, I helped my dad deliver my brothers truck to CA. He came back from his tour of duty in the Persian Gulf/He is Navy. Maddie couldn't come with, and my husband and daughter were away. She was with my mother in law, and was acting funny, grouchy and aloof. I called her the 2nd day again, but this time with different results. She licked the phone, rubbed, and meowed, than went to the door, batting at the door knob, crying for it to be opened. Did she think I was there? Was the reasurance more harmful than good? I wanted her to know I was still around, and hadn't abandoned her, but I think it just confused her, made her think I was coming in the door?
Anyone else with similar or different results?
