I am fortunate enough to have a roommate who really loves my cats, and the feeling is mutual. They LOVE their Auntie Rachel. She takes care of the babies for me if I need to go away.

Even before Rachel came to live with me, and Charlie had not yet gone to the RB, I would go away for the weekend sometimes and just leave out enough food and water and an extra litterbox. I would feel guilty about leaving him all weekend since he was an only cat, but I would just give him extra lovins when I got back.
