I'll be gone for almost two weeks. They have never been alone that long, since I've moved in my new apartment the longest I have been gone is 2 days. Before when I would leave my roommate would be at home so they wouldn't get lonely. But I'll have someone check in on them everyday and they will have lots of new toys to keep them busy
We have come to the conclusion that our cats had much rather be left at home with someone looking in on them when we are gone. It's kind of funny. When you board cats for a week, then bring them back home, it takes several days before they will speak to you again. If you leave them at home, when you get back, the response is,"Oh, you were gone?" The dogs, on the other hand, go to the kennel when we are gone for more than a weekend.
