<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Zaturday, the day we (Ziggy and Zorro) take over Mommy\u2019s blog.<\/p>\n
Ziggy here. Zorro and I are lucky kitties. We have two homes! We live in Florida with Mommy and Daddy, but every month, Mommy takes us to North Carolina to Grandma and Aunt Kim\u2019s house. We like both places, because we get lots of love and good kitty food, whether we\u2019re in North Carolina or Florida.<\/p>\n
The trip is really long. (Mommy says it\u2019s more than 600 miles.) Zorro and I don\u2019t know what miles are, but we\u2019re in the car all day. Even though the trip is long, we can always tell when we\u2019re almost there. Usually I\u2019m lying on the seat and Zorro is curled up on Mommy\u2019s lap, but as soon as Mommy turns onto her and Daddy\u2019s road in Florida or Aunt Kim and Grandma\u2019s road in North Carolina, we know. Zorro stands up in Mommy\u2019s lap and looks out the window, and I get up on the thing between the seats.<\/p>\n

Mommy always laughs and asks us how we can tell we\u2019re almost there. Zorro and I can\u2019t really explain it. We just know. Cats have good sense of direction. We also pay attention and have a good memory. That helps lost cats find their way home. When Mommy was a little girl, she had a cat named Bootsie. (Bootsie was black like us, except she had white paws.) When Mommy\u2019s family moved to a different house, they took Bootsie with them, but then Bootsie disappeared. Mommy said six weeks later, the people who bought the old house called because Bootsie showed up there. She had walked all the way there from a different city, just to go back to her old home. (Of course, Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa went and got her.)<\/p>\n
No one really knows how we do it. Some people think cats can sense the Earth\u2019s magnetic fields. Others say we have iron in our inner ears and skin that works like a natural compass. Zorro and I aren\u2019t sure about all that. We just know which way home is and when we\u2019re almost there.<\/p>\n
Mommy really doesn\u2019t understand it, because she doesn\u2019t have any sense of direction at all. If she didn\u2019t have that thing on her phone telling her where to go when we travel, who knows where we\u2019d end up? But we love her anyway.<\/p>\n It\u2019s Zaturday, the day we (Ziggy and Zorro) take over Mommy\u2019s blog. Ziggy here. Zorro and I are lucky kitties. We have two homes!
