My new role at work requires me to travel almost weekly - I will be leaving Monday mornings, coming back Thursday evenings. I have a sitter coming in once a day on Mon and Thurs, twice a day on Tues and Wed.
I feel terrible about leaving my cat four days a week, but I pretty much don't have a choice on the travelling. I will likely have to keep doing this for the next several months.
Would it be better to just board my cat while I am gone? I am worried about her being left alone for most of the day, but I thought it might be better because at least she is in familiar territory. She absolutely detests car rides, so I didn't want to subject her to weekly trips to and from the boarding facility.
My cat is a very mellow adult cat - she sleeps most of the day away. She hardly ever wants to play - maybe only for a few minutes each day. So I don't know if she will be bored if I'm not around - I guess I am just more worried that she will think I am abandoning her weekly. I've only had her for a few months, but I was working from home then, so she is used to having me around all the time.
