I know people are going to disagree with me for letting my cat outside before I even start but I'm currently freaking out. Please give me some advice!
Harry is allowed as much inside access as he wants. Unfortunately he would much rather be outdoors and I have given him that grace. He can roam as far as he wants pretty much but he comes back for food at least twice a day.
We are going away at the end of this month for 6 nights. My 2 regular minders are not available (I literally discovered this 10 minutes ago I'm ashamed to say). I've realised my only option is the cattery. I really really am upset by this as I put him in one of the top catteries in this country last year yet he came back with 2 week's worth of chronic diarrhoea.
I'm going to call a different cattery tomorrow to see if they can take him. I have met the owners before and they have convinced me that he will be in the best hands. My biggest worries are the fact that he is used to such a free roam, he hates the car and he will be stuck in an enclosure. I'm feeling pretty rubbish to be honest.
Can cats adapt pretty quickly or will I come back to two weeks of diarrhoea again? I'm going to leave his own food for him at the cattery to lessen the chance of this by the way. Please convince me that I am not doing the most evil thing ever
