Houdi comes home

 

Houdi has been at the old house. Things emptying out. 'Mom' was gone for nearly 2 weeks. My oldest daughter was tending to him, every day, but I am sure he was pretty confused.

Today was the day.

He was scooped up and put in his carrier, which I am sure conjured up bad memories involving visits to the vet. He yowled forlornly from the old house to the new.

I started him off in the basement so that he knew the location of his litter box. He immediately hid. You might remember that he hid for weeks when I first got him. 

I didn't know how this would go, but after several hours of hiding, he began to 'talk' to me from the basement...he meows, I talk to him, he meows back. He came from his hiding place and so I simply picked him up and brought him upstairs. 

I set him on our bed. I figured that would be a place familiar to him. He was very content, and from there he explored the rooms one by one. 

I think he recognizes that he is home.
