We are going to be out of town for 8 nights over the holidays. We have a cat sitter to come everyday for an hour for the first four days, but after that only my sister is available to come and that would be every second day.
I know Noisette will deal with it okay as we've left her for up to 5 days by herself before, and seh could care less.
I am worried about Timothy though - we've only had him two months and he's moved a round a lot before coming to us. I don't want him to feel abandoned or upset, especially because his herpes tends to act up when he's stressed. Part of the reason we adopted Timothy was to have a companion for Noisette when we are away. I want Tim to learn to be independent, and am hoping Noisette will set a good example (he copies everything she does).
For long have you left your cats at home alone, with a drop-in sitter?
