We are going on vacation in 5 weeks and I am not sure of what to do with Samson. Samson in 19 years old. We have always left him at the house and had someone come in and take care of him and Lovey Lou in the past. I am not sure that will work now. Lovey died a few weeks ago and I am not sure it is wise to leave Samson in the house by himself. Samson has never been alone. He always been with Lovey or I have been with him. Our Vet/kennel not far from us, less than 2 miles aways. I thought about taking him there for the week now I am having second thoughts.... I realy don't want him confine to a kennel for 9 days... We also have 3 dogs. 2 of the three dogs are going to the kennel. This kennel has large runs and air condition units and it is were the dogs were born... I realy don't think that the place for Samson. That why I thought about our vet.
The last 2 times we have left the cats home the sitters did not care for our cats like I would have liked. I am not sure if they came at all. We always leave a self feeder and water for the cats and plenty of litter pans. The last 2 times when I came home the feeder was just about empty. the water was running a little low and the litter pans looked like they had not been taken care of in a day or so.
So the question is Should I take my 19 year old Cat out of his sounding and kennel him or should I try another pet sitter?
Thanks for the input
