Hi Weeze,
When my husband and I go on vacation, sometimes it's hard to decide what to do with our pets. A lot of times our vacation consists of flying back to my hometown in IN, so it's difficult to try and get 2 cats to fly. What we did for our 2 week honeymoon was hire a pet sitter. You can usually get names of reputable pet sitters from your vet and even over the web. That way, you can let the sitter know how many times a week to come and feed and play with your cats, and they don't have to be removed from their comfy surroundings. Does your mom live close to you? Maybe just have her come and feed and play with your cat once a day, or every other day. Cats are pretty sedentary creatures and can get by on their own while their owners are on vacation. With someone stopping in, I'm sure Tiger will be just fine, and she won't have those awkward adjustment periods to new places. Now that we're in CA and my parents live out here too, we have become each other's pet sitters, but the animals always stay in their respective homes. Although I'm sure your kitty would be just fine at your mom's house. My sister left her cat with my parents for over a month, and she adjusted back to my sister pretty quickly when she returned home. I think everything will be fine either way you choose to do it Good luck and have a great vacation!
