Thank you for your thoughts. I was due to start a sit in Toronto for 2 cats on December 24th but my bus transit was canceled and I had to book train transit for the next morning. Fortunately the owners could arrange feeding until I arrived. I got here, the cats are fed and medicated, playing with their catnip sachets that I brought. Overall, I think it emphasizes the importance of communication and having backup plans. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing @MaggieUU we’re so glad you were able to travel safely to Toronto and you are absolutely correct about the importance of communication and being prepared with a back up plan.

Stay safe and warm with your kitty companions.

I’m unfortunately one of those people living in Vancouver, B.C. My husband and I spent Christmas day on our own as our family from Northern B.C. couldn’t make it due to severe road conditions. There were two major bus crashes this past week on a B.C. highway sending 53 people to hospital and leaving 4 dead. Vancouver airport was shut down for days leaving passengers stranded. We haven’t experienced this type of weather in a long time!

Hi @Globetrotter I’m sorry your family weren’t able to travel.

It looks as though it’s warming up over the next few days and back to more normal weather … wet and windy. Stay safe and warm
