Taking the Cat on Vacation

My family and I just returned from a two-week vacation in Florida, and we couldn’t be more refreshed and invigorated. It’s funny to think that we almost called the whole thing off because of a cat. My 4-year-old daughter has a special attachment to Fuzzy, the tabby cat we got right around the time our daughter was born. The two of them grew up together, so it really wasn’t surprising that my daughter insisted on taking the cat with us on vacation.

But that just wasn’t an option. Thinking quickly, I found a plush cat online and gave it to my daughter along with the promise that Fuzzy would be well taken care of by the neighbors. The idea took some getting used to, but eventually the girl acquiesced and we set off on our cross-country trip without incident.
