It's been almost three years since I've been to Disneyland (Oct/Nov 2019). Seems like ages ago and yesterday all in one!
When we went last, we were in a transitory stage after our sweet girl of 17 had passed (5 years with DH alone, 12 years together). Vacations were easy, and quite frankly welcomed
at that point. The house felt empty.
During the pandemic I started feeding feral kitties frequenting our backyard. Well, a friendly guy ended up winning my heart, and now it seems I have another cat. But wait, there's more! (Lol) Two months later another kitty saw us through the window and wanted in. Yeah, now I have two. (Side note: I TNR -- I'm not just feeding them and leaving it at that)
So we are planning on going to Disneyland in early November of this year and part of me is freaking out. My Mom (bless her) has offered to stay with my guys while we are away but I'm still freaked out about it. Both of my kitties are boys and every now and then they can brawl, but we've had pets our whole lives, so she knows what to do to break it up.
Rationally, I know it'll be okay, but I need a pep talk. I just need reassurance! Anyone willing to share their pet fears that were unfounded? Or just success stories with pets that ended up loving (or tolerating) your time away?
