Pivotal Trip

After that last post, we feel a real need to let you know that we - and both of our cats - all made it home safely.

On our road to fulltiming, this was indeed a pivotal trip. Taking our cats along was a true test of the reality of our fulltiming dream.

So, how'd they do? Great!

With the exception of the Friday night hide-n-freak incident, the cats' maiden voyage actually went much better than we could have ever expected. They rode just fine in their carriers to the campground. (One was more vocal than the other, but they were both safe and secure.) Once we were settled and they were released, they sniffed and poked around until they felt comfortable. On Saturday, our girl kitty was obviously more at home in this home away from home than her brother. Just as we were convinced that fulltiming might not be for him, he snapped to life on Saturday night (just after he FINALLY decided to use the litterbox). With that, he became the delightful kitty we know and love. Saturday night we slept with everything in its proper spot and the bedroom door wide open with the kitties free to roam our motorhome.

Sunday morning, these two actually acted like they do at home. One peered out the window and the other lazed in bed as long as possible. It was then we both realized our fulltiming dream can become a reality. After all, the "kids" are on board.

Now, there's absolutely nothing stopping us.
