Yep, it really is and the sisters are a bit upset. Every time the dreaded gray box with the handle comes out that means Mom is going somewhere again. I tried to tell them not to worry too much because it is the small gray box with the handle.

See, it is the small one
I’ve got this figured out, the small gray box with the handle usually means that Mom won’t be gone long at all, usually just overnight. I hope that is the case because I keep telling my sisters that I’m never wrong. Do they believe me? Well, I’m not sure that they do, but I have a pretty good track record even if they won’t admit it. Don’t forget, adopt cats, we deserve it! Purrrr! Zip! Later!
We are sure you are right Brian. After all we don't think your Mom could stand to leave you for long. ~S,S,C & F
PS: Brian you are welcome to come play with me while your Mom is away. ~Scylla
We hope she is not gone for long!
We hope its a furry short trip!
Oh noes! We hope she's only gone overnight. Make sure you get extra treats while she's gone.

just ignore her when she comes back, and that'll teach her… unless you're like me and have no self-dicipline, and give up after about 30 seconds..

Oh noos, you are being abandoned. Not so sure about the size thingie. My SS has a smallish one and she can go away for weeks on end with just that!
Make sure to leave your furs all over it so she will take part of you with her!
