On the off chance that it helps to hear anecdata, I've been away from our cats for up to two weeks at a stretch, and I missed them awfully, but they've been the same as always to me once I'm home, if perhaps a little clingy for a day or so. I hope the same is true with you and yours.

I appreciate the anecdata. I just had a wonderful day with the cats, so I am hoping to be able to continue this pattern of visiting every few days for as long as necessary. They certainly seemed happy to see me today. Thank you.
