How long would you feel comfortable leaving two grown cats (around 9 each) home with plenty of food and water while you went away?Normally I'd have a cat sitter but now the little one's gone sort of psycho.
No, it's a small apartment, so I have to leave them with the run of it.Originally Posted by lee
I wouldn't leave without someone checking on them every day, at least every 24 hours. Even if kitty is psycho, can the sitter come in and feed/water them without interacting much with them? Just to make sure they haven't turned over their water bowl or hurt themselves while you're gone?
I may be biased, cuz I used to own a sitting business, but I've seen too many goofy things happen to leave cats alone for more than a day. One cat I used to care for got stuck behind a heavy corner desk and could not get out. I moved the furniture and lifted him out and closed off that room for the duration. One other time pipes burst in another customer's home and flooded the room where the food and water was kept and all the food was ruined.Originally Posted by Brokenheart

Oh, I always tell my neighbor and have him check in every day. As I said, Zane usually spends the day doing the same thing he'd be doing if I were at home--sleeping.Originally Posted by clpeters23

Just my opinion!
