MY SLOGAN: TREAT YOURSELF!Hi my name is Jen - I am 33 and married; a graphic desinger, a big sister, movie lover, horse rider, and board game nerd.
advice
in two weeks im going to florida and we'll be gone for 17 days. I have a cat and i was thinking about asking a friend to come by and take care of him. (for money of course) I was wondering would the cat get too lonely being that we wont be around for so long and my friend will only be in the house for five minutes to feed him and change his litter box? Another option is the kennel..but i hear they are very expensive. Do you know about how expensive they are? Should i have my friend come by or take my cat to a kennel? Thanks and i'll rate you guys because i appreciate your time and advice..i too am a columnist. Thanks again..

I don't think a kennel is a good idea for a cat. Being in a new enviorment, and locked up in a cage all day would be more tramatic than being home alone for awhile. And cats are pretty independant creatures. He should be fine if you friend is comming over every few days. Ask if they could spend some time playing with it and give it a few pets as well. You also may want to give him a few new toys right before you leave that will help entertain him.
(Rating: 5) good idea..thank you
