We are going on holiday for a week in the uk. We'll be staying in a chalet that is owned by my partners parents and they're happy for us to take him.
We can't get anyone to look after him apart from my sister, but we really don't want to ask her to pop in on him twice a day for a whole week - we feel like we'd be asking too much.
We are also worried because we've never left him for so long. He really likes company and we just don't know how he would cope for a whole week with only a little bit of company twice a day.
He's a very calm, affectionate cat and is quite attached to us.
He's travelled in the car before in his carrier to go to the vet and was fine, but this was only for 45 mins. He does run off and hide once we get home; I'm not sure if that's due to the vet or the carrier and car journey.
It will be approximately a four hour car journey. We've got a larger carrier that has a water bowl attached. He's also good with his harness and lead so I was hoping to take him out for some fresh air if he needed it.
The chalet is secure and he wouldn't be going out without his harness and lead.
We will do some day trips but won't be out all day every day, so he won't be on his own in an unfamiliar place for long.
We would love to take him. I'm going through a really hard time at the moment and he's a massive comfort to me, if that makes sense. A cuddle with him makes me feel better.
So we really want to take him, but only if he will be ok. We don't want to be selfish.
Has anyone ever taken their cat on holiday? How did it go? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks
