If I have to leave Taz for more than 3 days (his automatic feeder can only feed him for 3 days) he goes to my mom's house.
But if I were to board a cat I guess I'd want someone to give him attention, play with him (if he wants to play) and just sit with him and be company for him for a while. Since my kitties are indoor only, outside time is not required.
But this is what is happening with Paizly this weekend. She is going to my parents house, only my parents won't be home. They will be in Tahoe with us. So my niece will come over to see Paizly twice a day, hopefully. And she can play with her and bring Zoee in for a visit. Check her food and water and clean the litter box. Not too difficult since they do not need to go outside to potty.
