Vacation Poll

I almost dread vacations now!

My husband and I do a two week Medieval event vacation the beginning of August. His parents go out to the house about every other day to check on our crew. I go home for one day in the middle of the two weeks just 'cause I miss them, though...:rolleyes:

My in-laws take such wonderful care of them but I still worry a little...

huh??

everyday is a vacation when a cat owns you!

I almost never go away because I'm busy cat-sitting for other people :D

I haven't been on vacation since I had cats ..

What is a vacation?????????:rolleyes:

If I were to pay someone to care for my cats (and mice) during a vacation away from home, I would have NO funds left to leave home! :eek: :D

I hope you don't mind that I voted in this poll as I don't have any cats, but I don't go either....because of the dogs.

I hate leaving them....I know they miss me and don't understand why I've left them. :( I hate that part of leaving.

My entire trip, I usually miss them terribly, especially when I see other animals.

Since I've had my cats, I've rarely ever gone away. The most I've been away from them lately has been a night or two. Now I'm going to the L.A. Pet Talk Barbecue and then to San Clemente from there. I'll be gone for about 10 days. I sure hope that my cats will be okay and have good care while I'm gone. I've never been away from Sunny or Cirrus for more than a day or two and have never been away from Sky yet. I sure hope that they won't be mad at me for leaving them for a while. :(

Where I work they make us take time off. But they also let us works tons of over time if we want, which I do. Make the money while I can. I camp and take the dogzzz with me. Thats a vacation to me!!!

I was away last month for two weeks. It was Ally's first time in a Cattery, and she was skin and bones when I got back.

Fortunately we are moving to a bigger house next month, so my sitter will come and stay when we next go on holiday!

My husband always takes pictures of the cats with him. but I can't look at them or I have to cry.

He's also the one who has to call the people who take care of the cats as I would be too afraid of bad news.

We never had bad news though -they were always very fine:)

I love going on Vacation, but I always miss the kitties :((And the Dog)

My husband and I still take vacations (usually long weekends) BUT my mom takes care of my furkids and I always miss them so much that I can not wait to get back home to them. My husband says that I miss the cats more than I would miss him if he were gone.

My mom also has 8 of her own cats so when she has to go to a convention of away on business (not very often) I will take care of her furkids.

About 5 years ago my mom, husband, grandmother, and I went to Disney for 9 days. We each had pet sitters come each day and check on the cats....well, my house made out just fine, everything in place, no messes, etc. My mom's house did not fair so well....her cats took down 3 sets of curtains, the telephone was off the hook, grocery coupons were from one end of the house to the other and the TV was on when they got home.

Pets are wonderful, they're great companions and they make our life happier.

But there's so much to see in that world... Honestly, I can't imagine staying home and refusing a trip because I have a cat :D

I went to France last year and it has been the most beautiful experience of my life ! I love to travel ! And I will travel a lot!

Of course, I'll pay someone who'll take care of my kitty daily.:)
