I have separation anxiety, too. I drive my SO CRAZY. I call the kennel at least once while we're away, and pet every dog I run into. It's gotten worse since I got Charlie. He's a rescue and hates the kennel.

Kris...you are NOT alone! We've had Jackson for just over a month. We are going to visit my sister in Pittsburgh over easter. We only have to leave him for 5 days, but I cry when I think about it. He is staying with a good friend of mine who has twin 11 year old girls who love him. :) I just worry SO much about him. He's like our child already, even Chris is already worried. I just hope Jackson is okay without us...I don't want him to get stressed out! And I worry that he'll forget me, or come back a totally different cat. I hope all that is just senseless worrying, but I'm with you. I don't want to let it keep me from seeing my sister and my adorable nieces, but I don't want to leave him at all!!!

You bet I do! I wish I could pack them up and take them with us when we go away. We do take them with us when we go visit our families in Pennsylvania. ALL of them. I can't leave any behind....

Next time you go, you better check for Hoover a few times before you take off! teehee.....

My wife gets mad at me because I always want to leave early and come back home, because I hate being away from my girls.My wife travels because of her job several times a year. I could go with her but I never do.I come up with some pretty good excuses.Hey I can't sleep without a cat on my head and a 70 pound pitball next me.

If I have to travel for any reason without the girls, I take a picture of them with me to keep on my bedside table at the hotel. If I'm someplace where there are dogs, I always go up and make over them because I'm missing mine so much.
