I just came back from Minnesota, where I went for Christmas. I left Larry for two weeks. It was the longest he's been alone. A neighbor came in to feed him and scoop the poop, but I knew she'd never see him. He bolts to the closet whenever anyone else comes in.
But she said he ate. The food was always gone. i just missed him so much!
So, when I came home today, at about noon, I started talking and saying his name as soon as I walked in. I knew he was in the closet. I went into the bathroom to check on the litterbox, and he slinked out of the closet. You know.....that low to the ground slinking around that they do. He meowed at me, looking over his shoulder, then slinked around and eventually went back into the closet.
I left him alone, but every once in awhile I would talk and say his name. Once, he stuck his head out of the closet, but that was it.
5:00 came, I walked into the kitchen to get something out of the fridge and turned around and there he sat. He started rubbing up against me, flopped on the floor, wanted his belly rubbed, and wouldn't stop purring. It was like he suddenly realized, "Hey! I know you! You're back! Give me some lovin'!"
He wanted to be petted, brushed, held......it was so cool. I kept picking him up, and his purring was so loud, and he kept butting his head under my chin.
I think he missed me.
