I plan to go away for a week or so. I acquired a cat in the autumn,
that can previously been a neighbors cat but he wouldnt settle in the
new home she moved to in another street. He kept running here. I
lived with a friend and she will be here when I am away. The cat
sl;eeps under my bed at night, and spends a lot of time with me . He
protests if I dont leave my computor in the evening to sit with him in
the living roomwhen he comes back indoors. His relates to me more
closely than to my friend, but apparenntly is better with her when he
is alone with her.
I am very worried about how he will cope if I am away for a week.
Is this likely to be traumatic for a cat or is it no big deal and the
reality is that the territorial dimension is dominant. I understand
animals can get very upset by change of routine, and I would like some
advice, Indeed is there anything I can do to make things easier
(beyond not going away !! ) The poor chap was as good as abandoned by
his previous owner who never used to bother coming to look for him. I
dont him to feel bad, or frightened.
. He is a 3 year old neutered Tomcat. sEE HIM HERE

Advice would be so much appreciated.


Andrew, he is just so handsome! I have left my cats for a week with
my husband or, before I was married, a friend looking in, and they were
fine. They gave me the cold shoulder for a day or so, but then everything
was as it has always been. If you are not doing so now, I would have
him kept inside while you are gone, just as a safeguard. It sounds like
he really loves you.
