very sad leaving my cat

Your kitty will be fine. I wouldn't worry. You could send her a postcard and ask the petsitter to read it to her....seriously. That might make you feel better.

I miss my kitties too when I go on vacation (and my dog as well). But they are always soooo happy to see me when I come back. And yes, I send them postcards.

I'm sure your cat will be absolutely fine with a reputable petsitter. I hate leaving my cats as well, but I know they have each other for company, which makes it a little better.

Last year, I went on holiday for a week and left my husband behind with the cats - that made it a lot better. I didn't worry about them a bit. I knew they would be perfectly happy with him, rather than someone else going in to feed them.

I left my Cats alone for 2 Days when I went on my First Vacation to Cooperstown,and when I came back they were fine!
Your Cat will miss you a bit,but absence does make the heart grow fonder.

Your kitty will be fine.Maybe this will be a vacation for your kitty too,getting belly rubs,head scritches and loads of attention from a paid worker,kinda like us going to the spa

Hello, Your kitty will be just fine while you gone. Just be sure to put down enough food and fresh clean water , and you might want to make up a few extra litter boxes , so they will be semi-clean and can still be used by kitty
We left Abby and Buddy alone for 6 days last summer (vacation ) and I was worried to pieces about them, but they were just fine I had put down several large bowls of food, I had previously bought a medium size auto-pet waterer and I had frozen the jug about 3/4 full, so that it could melt slowly over time to give them fresh cold water. I also Laid down a total of 5 large litter boxes so they had plenty of choices of where to go(I use the large size under-the-bed plastic crates). I dont think they did a thing while we were gone, as not even a toy was out of place,and Buddy was happy to see us when we got back, but Abby threw us an attitude, and wouldnt even look at me till the next day Also forgot to mention, please do not wear a collar on the kitty while you are gone, as she could hang herself on it .

Whenever I've kittysat, I've always made it a point to go and meet the cat/kitties so they won't think some stranger. I also get a tour of the place so I know where everything is. I'm SURE your cat will be just fine. I think you might get the cold kitty shoulder when you return, but they get over it.

Have a great time!

Your kitty will be fine. During the summer my husband and myself have left for our week vacation. Although very hard to do. I would call and leave messages for them on the phone so they could hear my voice. Silly I know but I could feel better. They have always been fine while we are gone. Could you find someone to stay at your house while you are away? I do that now. I have a ton of family members that just love to stay with the Kitty Kids. It is a hard thing to do. I find myself longing to get home before the vacation is over. I just have such a good time when they are around its not the same without them.
