Question

were going on holiday in 5 days and my cat loves 2 go out side. and im worried i he mighnt stress but im not taking him 2 vet or catury any tips? p.s. he cant come wiv us! he will get fed tho 2 .

Answer 1

Have a friend or family member come in twice a day to check on him, change his water, put out fresh food, clean his litter and give him some attention.  He should be fine and it's a great idea to phone the cat sitter a few times to make sure all is well.

He will be lonely, but will be happier in his own home where he can practice his spelling and grammar.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

If you have a friend or relative who doesn't mind going by and letting him out for short periods of time, that would be a good idea.

Another idea is getting one of the those cat-runs that attach to a pet door so that your pet can go outside on its own, but still not be "free" outside.  If you don't have a pet door already though, that wouldn't work for five days from now.  

Another option would be one of those window boxes where your kitty can see and hear and smell the outdoors by sitting at the window.  Your window would need to be propped open for this though, so it depends on how comfortable you are with leaving your window open while you're away.

Is english your 2nd language - or are your fingers are too fat for the computer keys?  

Answer 4

Get your cat microchipped before leaving just in case.  Also, take pictures of your cat from every angle, JUST in case.  Let whoever is taking care of the cat while you are gone, that the cat will try to get out, and not to let him.  Instruct the caretaker that if the cat does get out - it's ok, but they need to come back often to let him back in, and not to let it out again.  Unless you are willing to shell out bucks for a cat kennel that will assure the safety of your cat, you'll just have to rely on whoever you picked out.  Make sure you make a list of do's and don'ts with the cat and how to get in touch with the vet and YOU if needed.  If they aren't willing to take the cat to the vet if it gets sick or hurt, then find another person.

Answer 5

He will be fine.

any more than 5 days then I would make sure someone comes and pets and feeds and plays with him

I would give him one of those cat toys that you put catnip inside.. that way he has something new to occupy him

He WILL be mad at you ... make sure you talk to him before you leave.  but he still may be mad left alone for that long.

happy holiday

Answer 6

leave a window open he will get in and out they are very resourceful  

Answer 7

It's normal that a cat want to go out, but if you are worried it had better that somebody else looks after him...  

Answer 8

You cannot go and leave your cat for 5 days!

The most you should leave your cat is one night even with food and water how would you like to be left for 5 days with no company not being let outside when needed and stale food!
