    She didn't care too much for traveling and let me know as well.
    Over and over and over the whole trip. :)

    Did you keep reminding her that it was better than being left at home
    with some idiot trying to take care of her and making a mess of it...?

    One time I had gone to visit a cousin outside of Detroit, the
    cloistered Dominican nun.
    When I left a "lunch" was made for me, so I wouldn't starve on the
    long trek home (about an eight hour drive). (This "lunch" could have fed several people).
    I stopped at a little roadside picnic area in Ohio and let Muffy out
    to explore the wooded area, etc. When it was time to leave I called and
    called and she never came, which she usually did. After some time I said
    in a loud voice, "Well, I guess I'll just have to leave her and she can
    fend for herself" and slowly headed back to the car.
    As I was loading the car I heard this pitiful mew and she came
    creeping out of the weeds. :)
    She was not one to roam. A quick tour of the hallway was usually
    enough for her.
