Car care for two months

Kurn

I had a long post written, but this will do.

What would you do with your best (non-human) cat friend for 2 months while you are away? I've had her 10 years.

1) 19 euro a day cattery (which would be very expensive for me) for 2 months
2) Give to a relative down the country - she has never been there before, and risk of running away is high (is it?). She would have access to a massive backyard of interesting things to do, but potential access to the main road at the front of the house. Also, a friendly cat to play with. I could potentially stay there on and off for few days to make her comfortable. But she would have outside access (as she does in Dublin). Also the drama of driving her down

Suggestions?

1 and ask for a deal; 2 in a new location is asking for a cat going missing esp. if there's already a cat there.

The cons of the relative down the country is that the cat would need to be confined for the first few weeks to settle into her surrounding and not risk running off. You certainly wouldn't be able to available of the back garden until just before you return. If relative was willing to confine her, then that is probably the better option as she'll have more (human) company. But other con is that you've no idea how either cat will react to each other.

Where are you based? I had to use a cattery when we were out of the country for 6 weeks. FABULOUS place - fantastic owner - couldnt recommend it highly enough. She gave me a very good deal too, much less than €19/day - which is very high. Its near Naas. Let me know if you want details.

Option 1, and ask for a deal for the 2 months.

The friendly cat your relative had may not be all that ‘friendly’ to another cat! Especially if they have never met before. Your cat will need to be kept indoors for the majority of the 2 months, to get used to the surroundings, which will only make matters worse with the other cat.

Try to get someone you know to move in to your place while you’re away?

Can't think of anyone that does not already have their own place... Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
