Hi, everyone. I got questions for those who are experts in dealing with their kitties when they go out of town. My bf and I are going on a 2.5 week trip by the end of this month. I have two 3-4 month old kittens that will have to be left home. I've been looking around for petsitter services but they're a little pricey. I know I could be asking friends to do it but they're not too familiar in dealing with cats. I'm kind of on a limited budget and was wondering what my options are to ensure that the cats will be ok while we're gone. I was thinking of hiring the petsitter to come in every 2 days to check on them instead of everyday so it'll be a little cheaper. To deal with the litter, I plan to lay out 5 litter boxes so they have more room to use which will then cut the need to clean the boxes daily. I also bought those big cat food/water dispensers that can last for a week or 2.
Also, we recently just got the kittens (one's been there for 2 months; the other 1 month) and I don't know whether this fact would have any impact on leaving them at home.
Would this arrangement be ok? Any suggestions? Thoughts? I'd appreciate the advise.
