I'm going away for 6-7 weeks for the trip of a lifetime. The horse is easy enough - he's on full livery - but I'm torn on the best thing to do with my cat.
She's 8, deaf (so has to stay indoors), has a heart murmur, and is inclined to bite first and ask questions later.
The ideal would be to find somebody who'd take her into their home for while I'm away, but she doesn't get on with other cats which, combined with her bitiness, makes people reluctant.
The other alternatives:
Cattery - the one she's gone to before is very good, and she stopped attempting to savage the staff after a week there, so she might be okay. I just don't like the thought of her being in a cattery for that long.
Petsitter - I don't like the idea of her only having company for an hour or so a day. Added to which, she's a very loud cat, and I have very thin walls. I have visions of her bellowing her head off for hours and driving my neighbours mad.
I'm leaning towards the cattery, but wondered if anybody had any other suggestions?
