Cats are home-loving, territorial creatures, so trying to find a way for your cat(s) to be looked after at home when you go away is an obvious choice. They’re unlikely to feel stressed if they are in their usual environment with its familiar scents, sights and sounds. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a cat-friendly acquaintance that’s happy to pop in to feed them, clean their litter tray, provide fresh water and give them some TLC!
However, how well do they know your cat and would they recognise if there is a change in their behaviour? Would they have a contingency plan in place if your cat is unwell or had an accident? How confident and reliable are they at taking care of your fur babies needs? Are you confident they will ensure the best care is given while you can’t be there for your cat?
The next best alternative to a trusted friend, family member or neighbour is a professional cat sitter, who will offer drop-in visits to your home while you are away to care for your cat(s) in the comfort of their own home. As well as keeping an eye on your kitty cats and sending you regular updates; they will also water any houseplants, take the bins out/in and keep your home looking “lived-in” to deter burglars. This will give you peace of mind your home is safe & secure.
