I am getting more and more nervous...

At the thought of leaving Trout alone for a week. I feel sick about it...

I know she will be fine because someone is coming to look after her, but I just keep thinking what if she gets anxiety and doesn't eat or something..I am terrified because she has NEVER been alone that long before without scritches and cuddles and love.

Can I get some calming vibes for her and me please? I am leaving in 2 days and I keep getting more nervous. I feel like she is going to think I have abandoned her.

I always get that way when I have to leave Jamie, but he seems to weather it just fine. Can the person looking after Trout spend some time there with her? If she doesn't make up at first, even just watching some TV or reading the newspaper will give her some companionship.

Don't feel bad I had to leave my crew for 4 days at Christmas & I was so nervous. The whole drive to Michigan & most of the first night all I could think about was are the OK. I'll send lots of calming vibes for you & lots of don't worry Mom's comming home soon vibes for her. I'm sure She will be fine, but I don't like leaving my cats alone either.

Well its my ex boyfriend, and he is only even doing this to begin with because I had NOONE else that could do it. For some reason, I imagine me asking him to spend some time with her would result in some sort of rolling of the eyes Of course I will ask him to, but we'll never know if he actually does.

It's only natural to feel that way, Nat, 'cause you love your little weirdo so much. I feel the same way when I go out of town, even if it's just for a couple of days. Just remember that Trout will be well take care of and focus on how happy she'll be to see her meowmy when you get home. I get the impression that Trout's a pretty fiesty little girl, so she'll be just fine.

Awww! I know exactly how you feel. I left Kitty for a week in January and it was the first time since we moved into our own flat.
I worried something stupid and he was totally fine! Even rang up and spoke to him on phone and he didn`t even care!
Someone went in twice a day to feed him and someone else gave him his suppertime snack.
I put a light on a timer switch in the lounge and bedroom so he wasn`t sat there in the dark. When I got back he just said he was starving as usual.
When I left him before and other people were about in the house he blanked me for a day and thet was it.
I`m sure he will be ok

Maybe while he is there feeding them, you can arrange to call so they can hear your voice over the phone?

Aww Nat! She will be fine. She will miss you of course but that will only make her thrilled to see you when you get home!

Awwwwww....



Major calming vibes for both you AND your babygirl.

Aww!! It will be ok Nat! Trout knows you love her.

It is very hard to leave them, for any period of time, I always feel guilty!!

Its ok though....

We always look after our neighbours kitty when she goes away, and she's a single kitty, and is attention starved when we go to visit her and feed her, but she's fine. She spends maybe 15 minutes rolling around me purring away, then gets bored, and goes to sleep somewhere else. Her meowmy always says that when she gets home, Cleo is so lovey and won't leave her side that day, and always snuggles on the bed that night, and then she's back to normal the next day.

Trout will just realise how much she loves and misses her meowmy

Now I assume your ex knows that Trout tried to escape the other day and knows to be VERY careful when he opens the door?

Trout is one tough cookie, she will be fine. I would definately look into getting her a playmate... My 2 have a real hoot together! And at least she wouldn't be lonely.....

sending you calming vibes Nat! You both will get through this!

Oooh, you've gotten some good suggestions here! Most especially about warning your ex-boyfriend that Trout slipped out the other day, and about calling so she can hear your voice! That would reassure her, I'll bet.

Remember to send your own vibes to her while you're gone, too! I'll bet she feels 'em!

I think it's natural to be nervous about leaving your pet in the care of someone else. But I'm sure she'll be fine. I would try not to worry.

I am sending tons of calming vibes.......

oh hun, it will be okay.

Lasy year at easter I got food poisoning at a family gathering and went home with my parents I ended up being there for 4 days. I was so worried about the kitties but I had left them more than enough food and water for the 2 days I was planning on being gone so they were fine when I got home. Maybe a little anoyed because they missed me but physically fine.

Trout is such a good kitty, it will all be fine! *HUGS*
