A Moving Experience

aw, poor sweet Oliver. How is he taking to the new digs?
Jazz & his mama


He is running himself ragged exploring all of it. I actually saw him
sniff each and every one of the tiles in the shower! :-)
He seems a little perplexed how our thing from North Carolina ended up
here while he was gone but is taking it in stride

Oliver has been holding up well in all the confusion and chaos of
moving. While the movers were there packing and loading we put him in
the cat kennel and then picked him up yesterday to bring him back to our
new place (about a 5 hour drive)right from the kennel. About an hour
into the drive he started crying and fussing and we couldn't figure out
what was wrong with him. Suddenly he escaped from the crate we were
transporting him in. The first thing he did was run over to our dog and
greet him and give him kisses. Then he jumped in the front seat and
demanded that I hold him. We were traveling at highway speeds with no
where to pull over and put him back in the crate so I ended up holding
him for about 30 miles until we got to a rest area. Turns out that he
was just so lonely for us after two days in the kennel that he just had
to be with us for a little while. After we got to the rest area and put
him back in his crate he was perfectly content to sleep on his little
bed until we got home. He is so sweet sometimes!


Aaaaaw, what a cutie :-)


Part of the time he was out of the crate he stood with his little feet
braced on the dashboard looking out the windshield. He looked like a
little figurehead on a ship or a Jaguar hood ornament. Every once in a
while he go meeeeerrOOOWWW! I took that as "faster daddy!" It was cute
but I worried we'd have to stop suddenly and he'd be dashed against the
window but it was either that or let him on Steve (who was driving) and
I did not want Oliver to help drive! :-)


Kinda like that "I'm the king of the wooooorld!!!" from Titanic. Very cute.

Awww! So cute. Oliver is such a sweet boy.

Frank is the same in that he has to get in my face and greet me every time
we've been apart. One time, I took both Frank and Nikki to TED for a
teeth-cleaning. When I came to pick them up, they were in the cages in the
vet's office. Frank was in a cage at the top and Nikki was in one lower
down. When I bent down to put my fingers into Nikki's cage, Frank put out a
paw through the bars in his cage, grabbed my hair with his claws and pulled,
because he needed to greet me first, i.e. RIGHT NEOW!



That is so funny! I love it that they miss us so much. Oliver has put
both paws on my face and turned it toward him when I didn't give him
attention when he wanted it. He really is a sweet boy.

Awwww, how cute. I hope he's settling in okay; please give him a
scritch for me. :-)

He said thanks for the scritch! He really is amazing on that he really
is taking this all very well. He was having a blast exploring the new
place.
