Well, I've left the kids to fend for themselves for up to 36 hours. Other than that, I have a wonderful pet sitter.

I did think about taking them to a local 'pet resort', but Cassy stresses so when he's around other strange cats... I don't think he'd be happy there at all.

I'm leaving both kids with a friend in her home while I'm recuperating and hope this works out. [My kids love, love, LOVE her and she wants to see if her cat is ready for siblings.] Fingers and paws crossed for us all, please?
