Hi everyone,
Wasn't sure where to post this, please redirect me if this isn't the right place!
My boyfriend and I are going away to a wedding from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon, the weekend after next, we've booked a cattery for this time, as we feel it's too long to leave them on their own with only a neighbour who doesn't really know them well coming in and feeding them..
Now, we're going away the weekend after from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon. I would love to hear some opinions on what we should do in this time. Should we leave them on their own with the neighbour coming to feed them? The neighbour would give them attention but I'm not 100% sure how they'd react as they're only confident with us, and it'd only be a brief visit. Or should we put them in the cattery again? My gut feeling is to leave them at home for this time. They're only 4 1/2 months old though, and we've only had them for just under 1 month. They're settled in, and as you may have guessed there are two of them, but do you think it would be fair leaving them on their own for that time? We're out of the house from 8AM to 6PM normally anyway, so they're used to being left for quite a while, but I can't make up my mind!
Opinions would be greatly appreciated.
