How sad Efrat - we're lucky and have a wonderful cattery very close by - they have great big 'houses' (cages is a horrible word) and our three go together and are always so well cared for - they can be outside or inside as they choose - and they can see the ducks on the pond!!!
Then of course we have our daughter Elizabeth who lives very close - and when we go away for a short time - ie a week - she comes over with her doggie Trickie and cat sits for us - as well as emptying the freezer!! Our furbabies love her and Trickie so there's no trouble at all (just the expense LOL!) And thats the plan starting Tuesday when we're going to Spain for a week! Yippeeee!!

So I think we're very lucky.
