Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some advice on cat care. I'm a teacher and I'd really like to go away during the long summer holidays for an extended trip to South America, However I'm worried about leaving my 2 cats.
I have a pet sitter who I trust who has taken care of them on weekends when I've been away but the trip I'm looking at would mean me being gone for 4-6 weeks which I feel is a really long time to leave them. I don't want them to be bored whilst I'm gone for such a long time but I know in general cats are happier in their own environments.
The other option is boarding them at a cattery, they've never been to a cattery before but I'd be willing to give it a trial run before the summer to see if they'd prefer it. They're indoor but they're quite nervous and they don't really like new people/places so I'm not convinced it would be right for them but could be worth a try if it means they'll get more attention.
Just wondered what other people thought and whether anyone else had taken an extended trip and had some advice.
TIA,
Jo
