Weekend away, will my boys be ok?

DH are about to go away for the weekend, will be back Sunday sometime. My sister is coming over Saturday and Sunday to feed my 2 boys. Left plenty of food and Dreamies, but feel wracked with guilt! They have a microchip cat flap so can safely get in and out, but have never left them before for so long with nobody in the house. Should I leave the radio or TV on for them? I feel like a neglectful parent, what else should I do!?

Thanks issey. In the past we used to bribe my nephews with pizza and DVDs to come and stay at the house when we went away, but unfortunately they're now at the mid-teenage years when an empty house may be abused! Hence my sister taking over catsitting duties. Left lots of instructions, but keeping looking at their little fluffy faces and feeling awful. Hopefully they will still love me when we get back Smile

They'll be fine!

Leaving the radio on lowish might be good though.

They'll be fine- I left my two indoor cats for a weekend last month, just plenty of bowls of water and food, and two trays of litter.

They were perfectly happy, and glad to see me, and got tasty treats on my return.

From the amount of hair shed, they spent most of the weekend kipping on my bed. and may have destroyed a bogroll.

Have fun! The bonus is they will be all the more glad to see you when you get back. They'll be fine. (and trashing the house Grin )
