Hi,
Just wondered how you all felt about leaving 2 cats alone for 2 or 3 days at a time. I have done it a few times already, but I'm just wondering if it's irresponsible of me or if it was "accepted" among cat owners. I have an automatic feeder that will dispense 2 meals (canned food) and they have access to all the dry cat food that they would want. I also put out an extra litter box and a few bowls of water.
Has anyone left their cats for this long or longer? Is it really a terrible thing to do?
I have to do it again next week and each time this comes up I wonder if it's the 'right' thing to do. The Cat Sitters charge $40.00 a day around here ($20.00 for each cat) So, I only use them when I'm going away for a week or more. And it's not like they stay at my house, she only comes in once a day, so what's the difference if I use the automatic feeders or have a sitter. Sorry this is so long. Any suggestions, advice or criticisms are welcome ,
Thank you!
Barb
