We don't go away often and usually only for two or three days, but I do board my cats, some cats would be fine taking on vacation with you, and that is what i would prefer, but my two would not adjust at all, I think the cattery is the kinder, safer option.

I have a cattery just down the road, but I choose to travel out to the country, as I have found an excellent facility, they always come back looking happy and healthy, and he has umbrellas outside for shade in the summer for the kitties, its always smells so clean too., it cost 14 dollars a day for two cats in standard accomodation.

However I have never boarded my Lexie, I have a real dilemma with her, she is such my companion, and follows me everywhere, she and I enjoy each others company , and she is a skittish cat, frightened easily, i am afraid she will pine so much for me if I leave her, hence I have chosen not to go away since I have owned her over a year now, but I do long to get away for a short break, I will have to cross this bridge soon, and I am dreading it.

Does anyone else share my feelings?
