I'm Home!
 
At least I'm on trial - to see if I can manage - otherwise straight back to
Auntie Margarets..She made me promise not to lift anything heavier than a
kettle of water or try to clean chicken pens out, so I've promised.
I was just so homesick and wanted to see KFC & BF. Actually, I think I
missed them more than they did me, judging how BF wound himself round Stan's
legs! I am glad in one way because it means he would settle with anyone
that fed him and if anything should happen to me (and it still could) that
would be great that he could be happy.
But..I am a bit selfish. Now I have a chance on life again I want him to be
mine only, like he was. I know that I shouldn't feel this, but I do. Am I
bad to feel this, or is it normal?

Here are purrs to help you pass the "trial". There truly is no place like
home and I'm thrilled you are well enough for it this quickly. As to being
selfish, I don't think so. He's your baby and you rightly expect him to be
yours for a long, long time.

Complete recovery purrs coming across the pond as well.

I'd say it's rather like seeing your children grow up (I know, I'm
childless, but I see this in my childed friends). You love to see them
becoming more mature and confident, but you miss being "The One" in their
life. Trust me, they missed you. They picked YOU. But it's nice to see BF
opening up to people a little. So GOOD to have you back home and here!

You will do just fine if you just forget your normal routine and just do
the easy things. Cleaning and cooking can wait --
When I couldn't bend easily to scoop the litter box,my son made a long
wooden handle for a scooper, which made the job easy. I had to get help
later on when the litter needed changing. If you have a microwave oven,
frozen food makes that job easier. When I drove the car, I used a small
pillow under the seat belt to protect my sore tummy.
Walking helps restore your strength but don't make it strenuous.

Purrs for a complete recovery. MLB

Its normal to feel this way. However cats being what they are it isn't
likely to do you much good. Some of them do prefer men.

That's why I still miss my Rosie so much. All the other cats we've had
prefer Charlie. And Molly prefers the neighborhood kids and the teenage
grandsons. Jake at least tries not to play favorites. He knows I'm the
only one that will brush him and let him kneed with his needle sharp claws.
But still I know if he had to choose....

Hopefully BF is just giving you the cold shoulder for a while so you will be
properly contrite for abandoning him.

It's wonderful that you're home! I hope you really will go back to Auntie
Margaret's if you aren't up to being on your own, but I hope you can stay
there. Dorothy was right. There's no place like home!

As for BF, no you aren't bad. Your feelings are perfectly normal. I
suspect his attitude will change quickly. When my daughter took me home
from the airport, after four weeks in Australia, Lindy allowed me to pet
her, but when we sat down, it was my daughter she went to, rather than me.
After my daughter left, though, Lindy was all over me. BF is probably just
punishing you for being away, and he'll soon forgive you because he's glad
you're home.

He knows you're still Number 1.
He was just kissing up to Stan because he didn't know if you were back for
good or not and he didn't want to risk insulting the provider of the food.
Simply a survival tactic, I'd say.

Glad to see you're feeling well enough to at least try out being back home.
BF will come around. Take it easy and take advantage of being with the furry
healers.

aw, BoyFriend is YOUR boyfriend and he loves
you and missed you lots just like KFC. Glad to
hear you're back home, take it easy, and check
in here with us everyday to let us know how
everything is going, ok?

Welcome home. Feeling this way is perfectly normal - all love is just a
little bit selfish.

Hugs,
