Hey everyone...
In September I'm going on a almost 2 week vacation with most of my family and I was debating about whether or not I should leave my cat, Ramses, home alone to be cared for by a cousin who would come every day or so to visit/feed/change litter or should I check him into a cat kennel so he gets the attention he gets with me?? A lot of ppl I talk to, say that he will be fine alone and its crazy to spend money on a kennel. They also say that its just a *cat* and there's no point...But i feel that if I left him alone, he would become too lonely. I've left him alone for weekends at a time and he's been fine(enough food and water of course). But I've always noticed that he is lonely when I get back cause he cuddles more than usual..He's a very friendly cat who likes to be with people(actually just me) and I would hate him to be stuck in a lonely house for such a long time. I know my cousin would make sure his litter is clean and he has food/water, but I doubt she would just chill with him giving him the attention he wants...What should i do??
