Brett-

I'm absolutely amazed that our card arrived so fast!

It is stressful for cats and people who love them to figure out good ways to deal with them (the cats) when you must travel. Our best compromise is to keep the cats at home and hire a neighbor to check in on them; we now repay the caretakers by taking them out to dinner or dinners if we're off on an extended trip, or cash if that is more useful. However, this fall we did no major travel and our kitty gang is quite content!

Have a good time revisiting Japan.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
