Tabigail must have overheard when mom said it was ok to use your bed.
She can tell when no one is in the house and it's me who walks in the door. That, I can wrap my head around. She doesn't do this when you guys are in town, you know. I have no doubt she sits on your bed when the house is empty for an hour or two, even if I don't actually catch her at it. And it is well established that if Tiki and I are the only other occupants here, she is less than likely to receive a scolding that is the genuine article. So I have little problem grasping the notion that she is intelligent and wilily enough to work out two sets of rules: 1) When no one else is around, but you are in town she can expect to hear me say, "Shoo! Out, out, out!", and will not sit on the bed in the first place... if I am in the house; 2) When you are out of town, she can expect something along the lines of, "Oh my! You cheeky little rascal... aren't you just a little cutie pie?", and so, makes a mooshie face, spreads her whiskers, and purrs, when I walk in the house and "catch" her doing something she, clearly, knows she otherwise ought not to do.
None of this taxes my credulity. But how can she possibly know, for a fact, that you guys have left town when you have only been gone for a few hours? Unless she teleported to the passenger terminal and verified your departure, I reckon she must have overheard mom say it was ok to use you guys bed, while out of town, and understood it to mean she should shoulder some of the responsibility for carrying out that honor.
Did you have a nice flight?
