HI

I agree with the staying at home part but not the twice a week part. Can you have someone come and visit them daily, such as a friend, neighbor, or family member. If not, how about a pet sitter? When I go away on vacation, I have always had a friend stay with my cats until recently. Now they are no longer single, or close by thats not an option. My parents come a few times a week when I am away. The last 2 trips, I hired a pet sitter. She comes once a day for 20 minutes. She charges $12 per day. She feeds them, changes their water, changes the litter, plays with them, takes the garbage out and gets the mail. Its a good deal. The cats are happy to have someone visit them daily.
