Alley is a 10-year-old cat, our "only child," indoor cat - hasn't left the house in 3 years, easily spooked, scared of everything and everybody. We, his "parents" do go on business trips and when we've been gone, so far, his Grammy has always come over twice a day to tend to his needs.
We, his parents, have been offered an opportunity to do a special job in the South 1600 miles away for 2 months on the first trip and ? many more after. We will be probably be driving back and forth with a van load of equipment.
Question: Should Alley stay at home with Grammy's visits?
Should Alley move to Grammy's house - that he hasn't been to in 8 years?
Or, do we take Alley with us where he will have to endure the trip and a new temporary home at a construction site with lots of construction noise and demolition occuring?
At home he would have all his stuff.
At Grammy's, she wouldn't have to make 2 trips a day, but its not his home and his parents wouldn't be there.
With his parents, he would have his parents, a long rotten trip, a new home at a noisy construction site.
Any opinions appreciated.
Thanks
