They know something is up

[zoom-zoom]

Our oldest cat gets very, very upset when a suitcase comes out. We try to hide them from her as long as possible. The younger one is still oblivious.

In our house it's the youngest cat who is beside himself when we leave, even if just for the better part of a day. None of our other cats could give a rip, as long as we leave them food. When we return the youngest one runs "happy laps" around the house in celebration. He's a character!

My dogs always know when Monday rolls around. Our morning chores are the same as on the weekend (after all, everyone still gets fed!) but there must be something about the preparation of lunches that cues them. Or maybe they sense that dark cloud over our heads as we get ready...
