My little three-year-old baby is deaf, so she is always scared and needs special attention. my husband and I both work at home so we are constantly with her. We found her off the streets by a dumpster two years ago, and since then, she's been very attached to us. She has abandonment issues. Every time she wakes up from a nap, she would meow until she sees one of us.
Unfortunately, my husband and I have a conference to attend next week that requires us to drive to another city two hours away and stay 6-8 hours for three days strait! that's about 12 hours of alone time each day! I'm very worried about my little girl being left alone for so long for the first time since we adopted her. we tried getting a cat sitter, but that just frightens her. she would run away and hide every time she sees a stranger. and i can't imagine how she'll deal with a stranger without the two of us present.
Is there anything I can do to make her three days alone easier on her? she loves her big cat-tree and I will leave lots of food and water, but is there a very entertaining toy i can get that I can leave her alone with? should i leave a lot of catnip? what can i do to make it easier and less frightening for her?
please help. i am worried sick. thanks in advance!
