After 35 days of us missing them, the Tabbies, Jac and Ti, have joined us in Bangalore, Karnataka. Today ranks right up there with the day we were married and the day Jessi was born in terms of happiness, excitement, planning, and cost.
Shortly before we left Minneapolis, rules about importing cats into Bangalore changed because of the new international airport. Pets could no longer be imported directly. They had to go to Mumbai, Chennai, or Dehli first; then airline vaccination rules changed; then airlines able to carry pets changed. Finally, it was the holiday season here and offices were closed.
Jac and Ti began their journey about 8am Tuesday morning, Minneapolis time. They finally got to our house about 5:30 pm Thursday evening, India time (nearly 48 hours later). The boys have spent the evening drinking lots of water and checking out the new place. We wondered how well they would still remember us, but they are already purring and coming to their names when called.
