Weekend Cat Blogging: Abandoned!
I can't possibly tell you how awful my life has been the last few days. Mom is abandoning me to go visit relatives and everything has been in an uproar. I can't go outside because it too dangerous. What's the danger? A weed! Apparently, foxtails get stuck in my coat and could work their way into my body, piercing vital organs. Have you ever heard such a load of poo? And look at my coat. I haven't been combed in two days. My food bowl was empty for hours!
Well, I'm going to climb into this backpack mom is taking on the plane. I don't think airport security would mind if I tag along. Dad is staying home, but he doesn't understand my mood swings. I know my plight is shocking, but go over to Clare's site. She created Weekend Cat Blogging and you'll see other cats that aren't mistreated like me. They're happy and get their fur combed every day, no doubt. Pray for me!!
Little cutie, how can you abandon her?? LOL!
One of my cats goes on a yowl fest everytime I'm, away and leave her with my hubby!
Aren't cats the most awesome of creatures!!
:-D

Poor Upsie. You should totally climb in as a stowaway. She'll never know you're there!

Oh Sher,
Your cat's so cute and smart... seems telling you, 'either take everything or nothing!' Good luck!

Poor Upsie! She definitely looks very upset with life. Hope things get better. Maybe daddy will get you a nice catnip toy to make it up?

Oh poor Upsie what ever will you do?
I don't think you would appreciate airplane travel though. Purrhaps you need to suck up to dad instead?

My goodness, Upsie -- here I thought your mom had been on vacation already for a week! So, it's just starting, eh? Don't worry; I'll send your dad lots of "keep food bowl full" and "comb hair" vibes. Take a look at George; he's concentrating, too.

Poor little Upsie! She nust be very upset... Anyway, she'll get through those "difficult" times.
As always, she is super cute!

Well, foxtails are a very big deal. Years ago, we vacationed in Ashland, Oregon for the Shakespeare Festival with another couple and their little, poodle-cocker spaniel dog. We were camping and took the dog for a walk. She got a foxtail in her nose. It's like a fish hook! We got to see "As You Like It," but our friends got to spend the time with their pooch at the vet. Upsie, you'll be fine.

Wow... I've never heard of these aggressive weeds, Upsie. Are they only local to your area?

Dear Upsie --
Just wanted to make sure you remember the official cat code of conduct for greeting Mom after an absence.
Ignore her. No lap-sitting, no purring, no acknowledgement that Mom exists for at least 24 hours.
Only after Mom has sufficiently fawned over you, tried to entreat you with food and kitty treats, and spent time coaxing you to pay attention to her is it ok to stop giving her the disdainful looks and making her feel guilty.
Until that time, remember, indifferent and aloof is the name of the game.
