I rarely go away because I do so much cat-sitting for other people. As I cat-sitter I do go over twice a day to feed and play. I am also fortunate enough to have someone in my building who is willing to come to my apt twice a day to feed, play and scoop! A much better solution than boarding them. Somtimes the stress of being moved to a strange place with no Mommy and Daddy can really be a problem. I've tried it and it does not work for my kitties because they stop eating.

I think having a timer switch on a light is great and leaving a radio softly playing can make them feel less lonely! Good luck and have a safe trip!
