DH got a job on the other side of the state for the summer. I went to the in-laws with the cats (an hour or two from his job) and planned to find a job here. Well, no such luck, but while visiting him over the weekend I was offered a job. The only problem is that we couldn't bring the kitties with us. MIL is willing to watch them for the rest of summer, but I feel terribly guilty. Gus is on allergy trials and needs his poos monitored daily, so he can't mingle with all the other cats. We have one more and the in-laws have two, so it'd be too difficult to tell who's who in the litter box. Both of our cats will have to be confined to one room overnight and part of the day, and able to roam the main floor of the house for a few hours a day. I don't know what to do to make sure they're happy for the next two months. I so torn up about it I'm considering not taking the job, even though we could really use the money. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any suggestions?


Does your MIL know the full extent of medical care/watch that Gus will need? Just make sure she's clear on that and so she doesn't complain later when she finds out what she has to do.
If feeding people food causes poo probs I bet she stops that right away. let her know how much youlove them and maybe she will too. I hope it all works out.
