Cruise is almost here
I'm panicking because I'm going away for two weeks. I never left the
brood for that long. I'll have people in of course, but my cats aren't really friendly so even though they know the cat sitters (friends and relatives), they aren't going to be highly visible. They'll be all right, but I'm concerned that if something happens to one of them, no one will know. Nothing I can do though but enjoy the cruise (and the week away after that) and hope for the best. And of course, I only have to look at a boat to get seasick so there's that as well. I have the patch, the wrist bands, and the ginger gum. I don't expect much help from the bands or ginger, but I do have high hopes for the patch. Actually, I'm not really too worried about the cruise. It's a big boat in calm water and everyone says not to worry. So I'm not worrying. I'm expressing realistic panic. |

I've left mine with friends keeping an eye on them, and even the most nervous cat managed just fine. I had friends who liked cats and were good with them, and I'm sure you have the same. Even when Betsy (RB), who never did much like humans, went into hiding, my friend managed to at least get a look at her from a distance every so often to check on her without frightening her. (It was clear that she came out of hiding to eat and drink when left alone0 -- Cheryl |

Hopefully the dramamine patch will quell your sea sickness. FWIW, when I had to leave Persia (RB) for a couple of weeks a neighbor (who had "met" Persia a couple of times) came over to do the daily cat chores. She didn't actually *see* Persia. But it was apparent she was eating, drinking and using the litter box... just not when the neighbor was in the house. Have a good trip! Jill |

When I had to leave her for a couple of weeks the neighbor doing daily kitty chores didn't see her. But it was apparent she was eating, drinking and using the litterbox. (Persia, not the neighbor. LOL ) Jill |

If I didn't panic before I went on a trip, I'd think something was wrong. I hope you have a wonderful time. Your cat sitters will take good care of your cats, whether or not they see them. |
