I'm going to be out of town at least three times this coming summer, once for a whole week, and I am feeling horribly anxious about leaving my two cats. I don't quite know where it's coming from, to be honest - I've been out of town before, and have a perfectly lovely pet-sitter who comes by once a day to scoop litter and feed and play a bit, and it's always been fine. But for some reason I can't get this nightmare scenario out of my head that something will go wrong - one of the cats will eat a brown recluse spider and die (I'm in Missouri, the little devils scurry around in the warm months), or one of them will get stuck behind a dresser and not get out, or they'll get into something harmful I overlooked, or...
I had to board them once, and the first thing I heard when I picked them up the next morning was a loud wailing sound that was my younger cat. I'm not too keen on putting them through boarding for a week. I guess I just feel anxious for some reason, and need some support - does anyone else dread going away and leaving their cats?
