I am out of thr country for two weeks and I miss Foley and Maia so much. I have never left them before and its so hard. My boyfriends is taking care of them and when we have video calls he shows me how they're doing. Foley looks at the phone and starts smelling it and I can't help but cry. He's so beautiful and I miss his beautiful face. And Maia ohh my baby girl she doesn't show her emotions very much but I know she misses me too :( only 10 more days til I see them [emoji]9829[/emoji]

can't imagine what you're going through.

i hope your kitties are doing fine without you. i'm sure they miss you but i hope they're not stressed in your absence. i think they are fine because your bf is watching them. so there is some familiarity there.

i'm planning on going away for two to three nights with the BF next month. my room mate will watch my 2 kitties. but i also have the option to take them. i don't know if i should or shouldn't...

i want to take the cats because i've NEVER been away from them for even 1 day. i will feel guilty leaving them behind. 

at the same time..me and the bf really  need this alone time...

but then again 2 or 3 nights without my babies omg i'm gonna die...

i don't know what to do :(

They will be pasted to you like velcro when you get home!  When I went away for a week on a holiday, and then another time I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, both times when I got home, my kitties were all over me and wouldn't let me out of their sight for days and days.

Ugh it's difficult to leave them home with somebody else taking care of them but cats aren't like dogs that like to explore new places they get very shy and probably develop trust issues and they'd uncomfortable so is better to miss them a little than to put them through all that. Even the trips to the vet are hard for them. My Maia resents me every time I do.

even when i take them to the vet, and then bring them home, both my kitties adjust well.

but yea, we are going to leave them behind :( for 3 nights and 4 days!!!

the BF and i were considering taking them along with us, and getting some harnesses for them to let them explore the forest near by...but we're just going to take that time for ourselves. me and the BF haven't had a date or vacation in like 2 years, and after we got the cats, we haven't had any PRIVACY for at about 6 months now. lol

mommy needs some space!!

I can relate. I've had a cat all my adult life. I live alone and haven't had any privacy for that entire time.

My neighbour now looks in on my cats when I go away for the weekend, but prior to that, I used to board them at the vets. I would take them in a couple days prior to my leaving just so I could have some time alone,  LOL

I love my babies, but this no closed door policy is a bit much!  Everything in the bathroom is done with an audience!  LOL

wow!!! i don't have that issue with the bathroom must be open deal!! however, when the door is closed, i will see frantic paws trying to get in underneath the door....searching for mama...and for a way in...searching for a dry sink to sit in. lol

one of my cats doesn't care, he will sit in the loaf of bread position in a wet sink -___-

Im back with my babies! Im so happy and they are too. I came to find Maia a little bit bigger which I think is somehow normal after a spaying? Well she's beautiful as she is and Foley OMG I came after 5am from the airport and he didn't let me sleep because he wanted me to pet him. Both of them come to sleep with me at the same time, and that didn't happen before. They usually take turns, when one comes the other leaves. :)
