I don't think its a good idea to take her with you. Most cats get a
little freaked out at new environments, and it is unnecessarily
stressful to them. When I go on vacation I get a friend or my father
to feed and scoop the box. My cats usually give me an attitude when I
get back for leaving them, but they warm up again in a day or so.
Once I had to have my place exterminated, and I brought all of my cats
to my sisters house for a day. They spent the day in her house hiding
under things and being really terrified.

I am going to stay with friends this Christmas and I don't know what to do
with my cat. Do you think she would like it better if I took her with me
(about 2 hours drive away) or should I leave her at home and ask my
neighbour to feed her while I'm gone?

I've never left home for any length of time before and am planning to be
away for 3 days over Christmas. Does anybody else take their cat with them
when they go away? I must admit, I would be much happier if she came with
me, but the question really is....would she?

She is an inside / outside cat but obviously, if I did take her with me I
would keep her inside all the time. Do you think it would confuse her too
much to take her away with me? Any advice / experiences would be much
appreciated as decision time is drawing ever closer!!
