In the past 8 weeks I have packed to go out of town for 6 weeks and we have moved into a new rental house. When I was packing to go out of town my cats and dog were not very happy with me.
I have found from the past that if I leave my luggage out where the cats are, packed or unpacked, they will pee on it because they are little “pissed” at me. The first time I found this out was years ago and I had left my packed luggage in front of the door for the next day and woke up to smelly luggage I had to throw away and repack in a duffle bag.
This trip was worse since I was gone for so long and the cats and dog moped around the house and both got sick all over the house. When I came home my dog was happy but it has taken about a week for the cats to be OK with me and even show themselves. It is funny how they play the silent treatment with me. You would not think that animals are smart enough to realize and try to punish you when you leave but mine definitely do.
Now that we are trying to set up our new house it has been 3 days since my dog has eaten, well she finally did this morning, and the cats did not eat either or slept. The cats spent 3 days exploring and the dog, I believe, is afraid I am going to leave her again. Poor animals.
Hopefully they will get back to normal soon as we get the house in order.
