Next week we are returning to the uk Mon-Sat. We live temporarily above me in-laws (long story!) so they will be feeding the cats for us. Now George is an outdoor/indoor cat with his own cat flap and Marcel is 6months-ish and is currently indoor cat.
I'm going to shut the door to the study where the cat flap is so George will only have access to that room where I will put his bed/food but he will probably be downstairs most of the time with in-laws which he really likes an of course he has access to the garden.
So Marcel will be alone most of the time apart from being fed a couple of times a day. He can't go downstairs because they have a dog and they wouldn't stop him from going outside.
George and Marcel have only just got used to being together so i'm wondering if after 6 days of seperation they will forget each other and I will have to start all over again with re-introducing them?
I'm also a bit paranoide that the in-laws aren't going to be careful about making sure that Marcel doesn't get out, he tries to escape all the time so I have put a sign on the study door KEEP THIS DOOR CLOSED!!
Finally I think that Marcel is going to be bored stiff! I am going to hide all of his cats toys and hopefully make him some catnip bags this week to hide around, does anyone have any tips on how to keep him occupied?
Any tips at all really appreciated
