My mom came to visit over the weekend, and I was a little surprised that the cats (with one exception) came out to meet her all on their own. Mittens stayed under the daybed, and when I asked her if she wanted to come meet her Grandma Marisue, she gave me that "No, thank you; I'm comfortable right here" look that means she'll come out when she's good and ready and not a millisecond before. The others all came wandering up to say hello to her -- even Puff, who's normally extremely shy. Romana not only let mom pet her (another one who usually goes under the bed when anyone comes over), but actually reached out and grabbed her when she turned away. Unfortunately, she missed Mom's sleeve and put a claw-hole in her hand, but Mom was willing to forgive her.
That evening, Mom and I went to see Riverdance, the final show of the farewell tour. We both enjoyed it immensely, and I'm glad I got the chance to see it live before it went away completely.
