Hey everyone! I’m a long time lurker of The Cat Site and a proud kitty mama of four cats. My husband and I will be going out of town next month and leaving our cats home for the first time ever! I was thinking of having my neighbor come by daily to check food, water and litter boxes (she, too, is a kitty lover) but I worry about my cats and fear them escaping. They are all very curious of what’s outside the front door and even we are very careful opening any doors. One has escaped on us and that has really made me anxious. We have a kitty door from our master bedroom to a sitting room that is closed off with French doors. I was thinking of keeping the cats contained to our master bedroom and sitting room and telling our neighbor to spend time with them in there if so desired. Food, water, and litter boxes would be set up for them in the sitting room. Does this make me sound crazy? Bad idea? Any other tips for leaving them for the first time?
