achievement unlocked: cross-country cats

[jazzfish]

In the last six weeks, Kai and Chaos have been:

• stuffed into new smaller (soft-sided) cat carriers briefly as a test
  
• stuffed into the cat carriers for real, taken away from home, and left in a strange place with a strange cat
  
• abandoned by their people after one night in this strange place for a week
  
• abandoned by their people AGAIN after only a few days, this time for most of a month
  
• fed tranquilizer pills
  
• stuffed into the cat-carriers for fifteen hours
  
• subjected to the unpleasant rigors of airport security and Canadian customs screening
  
• mad enough (Chaos) to attack the carrier enough to catch a claw in the mesh and rip it partly out
  
• fed more tranquilizer pills
  
• carted on public transit (SkyTrain and bus)
  
• brought to another strange place, though at least this one has all their stuff
  
• sprayed (Chaos) with disinfectant on the injured paw
  
• left alone for three days

Okay, so that last one isn't happening until tomorrow. Still. Poor kittens.

At least they're home for good now, and come Monday everything can start going back to normal for them.

Chaos is currently hiding under the bed. Kai is sulking next to the bed. I imagine Chaos got irritable with having someone else around while he's injured and kicked her out. (The bedrooms are the only carpeted rooms in the house.)

It's good to have them around again.

Good thing they love us anyway. :)

So far it's going well! Except for the 'still not really online much in the evenings' part. V.sorry to be missing you at Gencon and sad you couldn't make it to Origins.
