1. My previous cat, Boots, always knew when I was going on a trip.

As soon as she saw me haul out my luggage, she would disappear because she knew she was going in the carrier to be taken either to my mother's house or the cat hotel. She loved going to my mother's house (who doesn't like going to Gramma's?); the cat hotel, not so much.

Come to think of it, she would disappear as soon as she saw me pile my clothes on the bed, just like in your picture! She was such a smart cat.
