I have 6 cats. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve had them for 6 years. My apartment is on ground level and I took out 3 flaps of a shutter for them to have access to the outdoors. I live next to a park and all has been well with them. I rarely have friends over and when someone other than myself enters the apartment, most of them run to get outside or hide. I feed them dry food in 2 bowls that are always full for them to go to if they are hungry and also give them a can of cat food a day (2 when I could afford it) at night when I return home from work. I want to go on a vacation for about a week and am wondering how I should deal with this situation. Can I just leave them a lot of dry food? What will happen when they donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t see me? Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve seen them everyday since they were born. Also, friends who I would trust to feed them a can and not use my apartment, thusly possibly scaring them, live far away, and make this not practical. I may be able to find someone who lives closer by? If so advised. Do I have to/can I prepare them for not seeing me?
Thanks for your help.
