Oh Sharon, he's got you wrapped around his tail! How funny is that relaxed picture? He's a doll...and I'll bet he's missing Jack as well. But it sounds like he's marked you as his hooman and continues to do so with those sand-paper kisses! I am going to show my girls the picture of him in the chair and tell them that's how all traveler cats are...calm, relaxed and just chillin!
P.S. Habibi loved the part about turning on all the buttons and gauges. After turning on the emergency flashers in the middle of the night, she thought she'd done her best, but she now knows there's other options! I, on the other hand, am going to get a fly swatter too!
