Holidays and Your Cat :
How To Do With Your Cat
|
What happens at holiday time you need to go away
and leave your cat alone?
The best solution, provided it is
available, is to find somebody who will house sit
and mind your cat at home, as the cat will feel most
comfortable in familiar surroundings. You can also
find somebody who will come in on a regular basis
and feed the cat and sit with it for a short while
just to keep it company. The only problem here is
what to do with the cat at night as you don't want
it roaming around the neighborhood where it could
be endangering itself.

It can be locked in at night not provided there is sufficient
water and a litter
box. Many cats don't like to be left in unfamiliar surroundings
such as boarding kennels, whereas others are completely
happy provided they are getting some form of company and
sufficient food throughout the day.
If you intend leaving your cat at a boarding kennel do
some research first to check on the facilities and if possible
talk to other people who have left their cats there to find
out whether they would recommend them to other people. Make
sure also if you are leaving your pet at a boarding kennel
that it has had sufficient vaccinations to eliminate any
possibility of picking up any illness or disease.
If your holiday involves traveling by road then it might
be an alternative to take your cat with you provided it
doesn't mind traveling in a vehicle. Your need to test by
taking your cat on a smaller road trip first to determine
whether it feels ill, stressed, or has any other problems
before taking it on a longer trip.
Don't leave your pet care to the last minute when planning
a holiday. By doing some research in advance you can save
your cat a lot of stress.
