All it took was a two-week absence

Remember when I had to bribe Zach with kitty treats to get him to come into the same room as Liza? And she wanted nothing more than to gnaw off his ears?

Apparently, all it took to get them to befriend one another was two weeks apart. Liza spent the last week at my mother's house, trying desperately to get their cats to acknowledge her presence (they didn't). And Zach is so needy that he would accept attention from giant soul-sucking leeches, if only they had fingers to scratch his head.

And so this week the two of them are locked in some sort of co-dependent relationship, and I keep stumbling upon scenes like this ...

Liza, chillin' with her homey watching the (Sesame) Street. Yo, word to ya mutha!

We have noticed a similar behavior with our dog. My Shetland Sheepdog would ignore the kids until they reached about 4 1/2 years old. Then a switch flipped and the dog would happily obey the child and play fetch.
