Olive the cat sensing change in her daily life.

Here’s the thing that happens when we have guests. Olive’s world turns upside down.

First, her litter box is moved from the casita bathroom along with her food and water bowl. They end up in our bathroom in the Master bedroom. She knows that something is up.

So she disappears, showing her displeasure. Why should we turn her life upside down when everything is exactly how she likes it? Why do we let people into our house when she’s a fraidy cat?

Because maybe our house guests down’t want to share a bathroom with a cat.

She’ll disappear for hours at a time. I look under beds, in closets and then I find her in my closet. Sometimes, it’s only a little paw or a hint of a tail that shows. But today I saw this. She was giving me a look. I have no clue how she gets up to the top of my closet. My daughter is convinced she she powers up “Beam me up Scotty” style.

The only time Olive shows more displeasure is when the suitcase comes out.

Do your pets feel change in the air? What triggers them?
