Hi,
My DH and I are going on a 13 day Gulf of Alaska trip next month. We have an 11 month old Aby cat and I am just sick thinking about him going to the kennel. I was going to have someone check in on him, but I felt I was asking too much of someone to come in everyday. Our cat is very particular about his litter box and it needs to be spotless before he uses it, so if it isn't cleaned atleast 3 times a day then he will poo on the floor. I think I made him this picky. :lol: He has 3 boxes when we go away for the weekends.
Well, I feel that he will be sitting in his cage thinking we don't love him.
Do they have a concept of time?
I know this will stress the little bugger out being away from home, but I feel it is too long for him to be home. My friend couldn't stay for more then an hour or so and the kennel has people in and out all day.
He will also have 3 sessions of play time outside of his cage thru out the day.
So, I guess I need to know that I shouldn't be concerned about him and his feelings for those days. I wish I could just say, "it's only a cat" and enjoy myself. :lol:
It more like my 2 year old child left at daycare and not understanding what happened.
I need words of wisdom........
Has anyone used DrJean's "Alone Again (formerly Solitude)" formula?
