We will be spending it apart but I got you the gift of one of your favourite sitters.

You know we are going away and have been a nightmare and a cuddle pot today.

Just half an hour or so before I have to head to the airport and you’ve demanded I get the blanket out, put it over my legs and for you to run under too.

As you have a few other times today, between your loud incessant cries to be allowed out, upstairs, on the roof and in other people’s apartments. Three of those I could do.

I know you hate suitcases and what it means but you love your Sitters too. We always come back. We aren’t giving you up or giving you away, you don’t have to sulk so much and break our hearts.

We will be back in no time at all.
