Eric's Observations About Holidaying In Devon
Yes, I am still here. We are driving back to London tomorrow, if my mum can wrestle me into the cat carrier, har har. Here are some of the good and bad things about being taken on holiday if you are a kitty:
Good Things
1. I get a change of scene and some exciting new smells.
2. I get to stay with my mum and dad and I can snuggle on my mum's lap just like I do at home.
3. I get to explore my Devon Grandma's house and leave hair in all new places.
4. My mum took me out to explore Devon Grandma's garden and it smelled very interesting.
5. There are millions and millions of birdies in Devon! In the house and in the garden and all round the village you can hear them all the time going tweet-tweet-tweet.

6. I get my meals regularly just like I do at home.
7. I get to be admired by Devon Grandma and her old-lady friends who say I am fluffy and beautiful, but laugh at me for sleeping upside down with my paws in the air.
8. There is a very cosy sleeping spot behind the sofa here next to the radiator.
Bad Things
1. Getting here and back involves two long trips in the dreaded cat carrier.
2. I miss the smells of my own house.
3. Devon Grandma is following me around with a carpet brush complaining about hair being left everywhere.
4. My humans keep leaving me to guard Devon Grandma's house and going out enjoying themselves.
5. Devon Grandma says the sight of me looking out of the patio windows is putting her birdies off coming to her birdie table.
6. My mum gasped in horror when she weighed me on Devon Grandma's bathroom scales and says she is going to make my diet even stricter.
7. My dad was cross with me when I jumped on his head at 5 o'clock this morning - I know it was a little earlier than my normal wake-up call, but I was excited because it was Easter!
8. My mum was upset with me when I accidentally scratched her...um...chest...as she was evicting me from the bed at 5.10 this morning.
I will post some photos when I get home. Hope all kitties had a lovely Easter!

SOunds like you had a fun time overall. We didn't do much, but Momma and Daddy had a squillon (9)people over for dinner. Happy Easter!
I know exactly how you feel, Eric. At least you live somewhere nice and cool and not in this blasted Houstonian heat! When my human pet decided to move into her first house several months ago, she and I (along with Isis) had to sit in the air-conditioned car waiting for the previous owner to move out because she was taking her sweet ol` time.
We sat in there for two hours! My human pet was agitated, and so was I to say the least.
It sounds like to me you got off easy! I'm still bitter about not being able to train my human pet to let me outside. *mutter* How do you do it?

so eric, do tell haw much did you tilt the scale. are you sure it was you who tilted the scale or was it your mum. be safe going home. Bill
It's good to get away for a rest, but it's good to get home, too. Let us know when you're home safely.
I think the good outweighed the bad. Most of what was bad was bad for the humans--not for you.
I mean, was it really that terrible for you when you left hair all over Devon Grandma's house?
I thought not...

Well the downside of your holiday doesn't sound too too bad Eric. Just keep dreaming of that lovely garden with all the good smells and birdies while you're stuck in your carrier and know that you'll be home soon!
"I get my meals regularly" is only number 6 ?!? Eric, if you're like me, regular meals have to be right up there at the top of the list... :-)

You have an exciting life Eric, exciting. Mom says she has always wanted to see a real village in England and wants to know if they are like in all the books? Maybe you can tell her now that you have seen one. ~Merlin, Shadow, Ko Ko
Sitting on their head is good.......they need not sleep past 5 anyway......time to wake up and open the stinky goodness.....
