sheesh, Nancy, it doesn’t take rocket scientist to figure out that changes to their routines are a nogo.👹why not leave the tv or a radio on while you are out? I think that Scout would like that a lot.

Our cats both get really huffy if there is any change to their routines. And the new one gets extremely mischievous if we ignore her demands.

I like your plan to put catnip things in the candy bowl🦄
