Today was a hard day for Tabitha and Neelix. I had to ‘lock’ them in the back part of the rig all day with their food and litter. Add to that the strange noises and smells and they were on edge when I was finally able to spring them loose.

My house door doesn’t close well and it swung open without my noticing it, so I caught Neelix on the front step outside, enjoying the sun. He mewed pitifully when I called his name, but came back into the rig on his own. Even though it’s chilly out, I left the door open for about an hour with the screen door closed and put a mat by the stoop. Both cats immediately went to lie down on the cushioned surface to bask in the late day sunshine and fresh air.

I see so many people who are not considerate of their pets and it breaks my heart. If you have an animal at home, no matter what it is, please remember that it surely appreciates simple pleasures and comforts, and consideration, as much as you do.
