For allowing the kids to be home for 8 months and counting. They miss their quiet school days.
For moving my work-from-home desk into the room where they have been hiding from the kids and the noise.
For not simultaneously getting up to turn the water on the the bathroom sink for one cat to drink while also allowing another cat to lie on my chest and rub her face repeatedly on my face.
Little do they know they're missing out on home-cooked meals and human food! Didn't know that was a thing! We don't even do wet cat food

Might need to look into that...
