We're going away next week and for the first time in years need to put her in a cattery. A relative usually looks after her, but it's not possible this time. When she was very little she used to cope ok with it, but we had one bad experience when we left her in a place for four days and she didn't eat anything and didn't emerge from the little nest of hay she'd made at the back of the run :(. It was awful. When we left her she set up this awful yowling. So basically in the intervening years we haven't left her anywhere. Getting a neighbour in isn't really an option, as she loves company (only our company of course) and her in the house on her own for four days would simply make us worry.
I'm just worried about leaving her. She's a stroppy little fucker baby substitute madam and hates all other cats and doesn't really like people either. It's the thought of her cowering in a cage for four days. Waaaaaah :(
Can anyone reassure me?
