This question is specifically for those of you who have multiple cats.
I have had one cat for about 5 years now and whenever I go on vacation, we either leave her with relatives or have a pet sitter come and feed her every day.
However, I recently adopted a second cat.
We are still in the early stages (she's been here for 2.5 weeks. We are following the Jackson Galaxy method, and the cats have finally started being able to be near each other with only one or two hisses and are able to eat on either side of the baby gate). We are going away for a week soon and will be leaving one cat with a pet sitter and another with relatives because we don't trust them to be in the same room yet.
However, in the future, once they are (hopefully) getting along, I was wondering how I should handle vacations? My original cat was able to be left for up to two weeks with relatives/pet sitters and she always adjusted to having us back within the week.
I'm not sure how to handle this with multiple cats? Should we always split them up when going on vacation, in case they attack each other when they are alone or in a different environment and get scared? Or is it safe to leave them together once they are getting along?
What do you guys do with your cats?
Thanks for sharing!
