Hello all:
Well this is my first week back after our holiday. As some of you know I left Madam Lexy with my sister for the week, with everything including the kitchen sink! My sister did laugh when she saw the amount of "stuff" these babes need!
Well it looks like I worried for nothing. I was imagining Lexy was going to withdraw into herself again and all my hard work the last 8 months will have been reversed considering how timid she is around strangers and new places.
Not a chance! Apart from the first day when she was quiet and didn't want to eat, Madam essentially took over her aunty's house. I got pictures of her chasing her laser pointer (Lexy does love that red bug), of her sitting on the back of the leather sofa (my sister caved it seems) and of madam generally taking over. She was even allowed to sleep on the bed and my sister discovered the joys of a cat wanting to sit and get into the smallest place possible ontop of the bed...ie....between your face, the pillow and the headboard....!
and all at 2am!
Lexy chatted endlessly to my sister for the week, which I thought was only reserved for us!
We got back day before Xmas Eve, and I spent Xmas Eve at my sister's.....I was kinda chuffed though as I got told that Lexy wouldn't sleep on my sister's lap at all....but she did for me...and she was so happy to see me, all purry and cuddly (for once!) and wanting to be near me wilingly which is really unheard of with Lexy....as some of you know, she's still pretty timid when it comes to getting too close to her, unless its on her terms and she initiates it. She let me pick her up
and hold her for a whole minute! Usually I'm lucky to get 5 seconds!
The ride home was quiet (surprise surprise), and once she got home, she pounded out of her carrier, investigated every possible corner of the house to make sure it was just as she left it! And since it was, went to bed and slept for 5 hours solid!
I did miss my ragamuffin, I really did....and it seems she missed me.....well a little!!!
Anyway, just thought I'd share! I'm happy and relieved my baby is still on track and didn't revert to her old self
Oh and Iain if you're reading...underwear was not needed!
