It’s so hard! And it’s good to find good help as well. Always makes me feel so anxious

My oldest is pretty cuddly, but only on his terms, so I'm always excited to curl up on the couch or in bed and enjoy some snuggle time. If I have the energy, I might do some play time with the wand toy or some clicker training with their favorite treats. If I'm feeling more lazy, just tossing treats... They love chasing them!

I think they'll let you know what they want. I definitely feel you on the urge to go over the top with spoiling them, but what they probably appreciate most is just having you back. I've come to realize that most of my efforts to spoil my cats are more about me than they are about the cats.
