Home...and the great litter incident
We're hommmmeeee!
Thank goodness...we were SOOO ready to be in our native environment again! Of course, we have so much to do here...from sorting through 3 MONTHS of mail, to organizing the spare room as Mark's office, but still...home is home.
The trip home went pretty well...after the first hour or so. Mark wanted to head out on Thurs. aft. since he knew he'd be on a business trip by Monday. So, we decided we'd leave right after he got off work on Thurs. We were of two minds about the trip. I wanted to break our trip halfway and visit with a friend overnight while Mark wanted to press onward.
He came home from work at about 3 in the afternoon, we packed up the car, got the cat ready and prepared to leave an hour later.
I was all about making Moonlight comfortable...baaad idea! Her crate had a comfy blanket in it, a small litter pan and a little tray of food and water...which worked well until Mark hefted the crate and water spilled EVERYWHERE.
Moonlight and her blanket and litter looked dry...at first glance! We started negotiating traffic and all of a sudden, I felt some sort of material hitting my arm. Moonlight's litter had gotten saturated and she was flinging it at us in protest. Within maybe...ten minutes...we were coated in the stuff!
When we stopped at our first rest stop, we were shocked to find that our jeans were WHITE with clumping clay. Mark's jacket, our hair...you name it, Moonlight had expressed her annoyance with litter. Thankfully, it wasn't used for its primary purpose ;)
Thankfully, the trip went very smoothly otherwise. We stopped about 2/3 of the way through and got home Friday afternoon. Moonlight is loving the house and the dynamic between all the cats is interesting....they're all integrating well :)
