Expats WITHOUT Cats

Our cats will not be coming with us after Christmas like we planned. Apparently Gracie showed her true colors when Mr. Kelley brought her to the vet. By true colors I mean her Linda Blair from The Exorcist side. They are the most passive cats (to people) you'd ever meet. But get them around animals and they'll cause concern for human life. That experience mixed with the fact that he and Mrs. Kelley actually like having them around led them to offer us the BIGGEST favor ever. They were hoping to save us from the 10+ hours in the air, the hour or so getting through customs, the 3 hours on the train to Lugano, and the 20 minute bus ride to our apartment. Can you picture it? It looks like two angry cats covered in whatever mess they've managed to make in the previous 15 hours. Knowing we can avoid this AND have our "precious angels" taken care for the next year and a half, is amazing.

So, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. We can't THANK YOU enough.

  1. Hey Kids,

  2. Malinda - no way that is one of your fat headed kitties! You must have stolen that cat picture from a Purina Cat Chow website. I mean, I have never seen one of your cats not eating or having ¾ of itself in the litter box and the only part that counts on the wrong side of the box. If that is one of your cats, whose giant hands are those? And I suppose that is a full sized flag (like the one from Iwo Jima), right?

  3. Was so happy to finally get a chance to catch up with you guys. I know Mom, et.al. are anxious to get back to ya'll for Mardi Gras. Addition to our house is coming along and may be finished before Berg's kitchen is done. Can't wait to start making plans for our summer Switzerland trip. See you in a few months. Mary Hollier
