I'm going to be taking a long overseas vacation this summer. I'll be gone about two and a half weeks. I'm excited, but also worried about my cat. She is an only cat, and this point getting a second cat is not an option.
I've taken trips of about eight days before, and she's been fine with having a sitter come in once a day. I'm going to keep my sitter, but maybe ask some friends to come in every other day on top of that to give her some extra attention. I don't want to board her, and all the people I know who I'd be comfortable using as apartment sitters have pets of their own!
Has anyone else had experience with long vacations and only cats? Was everything all right?
