    Unless it is a long-term thing, I would leave him at his own house, rather than potentially upsetting both kitties and certainly upsetting Prince's routine by taking him out of his home.

    I agree. If you think that Prince will be lonely then you should visit with him for at least 30 min. per day and interact with him.

    I agree. It will be more stress for Prince to change home and habits than staying alone in his familiar environment. For one week, if you go everyday, it's fine

    The best thing to do is leave them in their own environment. It's less stressful and their familiar with their surroundings. I have a pet sitting business. I don't bring any animals to my house because it's only a 2 room studio with 5 of my other "4-legged family members".

    I think you get the picture by now, but I'm going to chime in with the rest...leave the kitty at home! Cats do not like to be taken from their environment.

    Donna, perhaps we are astrological twins or have some other mysterious cosmic bond?

    I also have a pet-(mostly cat-)sitting business and don't board animals in my home because I also live in a two-room apartment with 5 of MY other "4-legged family members"!
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Thanks for all the advice...I really appreciate it! You guys are probably right and I don't think that I'll have them bring him over. Besides he might be looking forward to the peace and quiet while they are gone.

    I love how helpful everyone is on this website.

    Thanks!!
