Hi everyone,
I need your opinion on 2 options that I have and if you can help me understand your choice.
I have 2 cats that are bonded (brother and sister from same litter) they are 1 year old now. I am leaving on a 25 day international trip and have 2 options
1. My friends offered to come 30min to 1 hour a day to do litter and food. With possibility of 2 days a week being more than 1 hour visit, likely 2-3 hours. I have indoors camera installed and automatic wireless feeder so I can feed extra portions. Will leave plenty of litter box , water and toys around. And they will have access to most rooms except my bedroom
2. A friend offered to take them into his house. The catch is they have 2 male cats also 1 year old. (They used to be litter mates) and at some point as kittens they used to play alot. A month ago we got them back to meet after 2 month absence and they went into hissing and chasing each other for 2 hours with lots of swatting. My friends are willing to try to socialize them together and they have an extra room to separate the cats if need be and it's a big room.
I am torn between the 2 choices on one hand they will have low frequency of human interaction but at comfort of their own home. On other hand my friends are taking a break from work and can look at them and separate if need be ( my friends can't come more often to check in my house because they live far )
Seeking help and I can add more details as needed. I truly care about my cats so any help is appreciated
