Taking a cat on holiday with you

I have a nearly four year old cat which has never been in a cattery. She is quite anxious and is not used to being left alone for long. We always leave her with a family member at home usually but she still gets stressed when we are away. This time we are going to a SC cottage and I am wondering if we should take her with us because we can't leave her with the family member this time. There is no one to leave her with and I think she would hate a cattery. Before we moved into our current house we had four weeks in a holiday cottage between moves and had to take her with us. I was quite worried about it but she adjusted really well and was going outside quite quickly. She didn't use the litter tray we brought with us at all. I would never have considered doing this with previous cats, but now I wonder if we could take her with us for a week ? Does anyone do this?

When I was an older teen I had a job as a pet sitter to an anxious dog. The woman travelled for work frequently so when she travelled I would stay at her house. I still went to school, but would study and sleep at her place. The dog got to know me and I was always there at night if it rained which was when she would have panic attacks and need comfort.

I now have a very anxious cat. We use a cat sitter. Not one who stays overnight, but in your case I think it might not be a bad idea.
