Yes - pathetic I know - but please don't shoot me down.
I am off on holiday for a week on Thursday and it will be the first time since we got her that I am leaving my girl... I do hope she doesn't 'hate' me when I get back
To make things slightly more pathetic my partner is not coming away with me - so she is staying with her 'Daddy'...
I know they'll be fine, although my BF does have a sligthly more laissez faire attitude towards petcare :eek: she'll probably be feral when I get home.
I do the bulk of the "caring" - I clean the litter tray, fed her, deflea her etc - the BF is just her playmate really!!
I bet they actually have an excellent time without me
Anyone else the same when it comes to leaving their little furries?

The first year we had our kitties I wouldn't go on holiday because I didn't want to leave them.:o
Even now, 12 years later, my OH has to take them to the cattery as I wouldn't be able to leave them there - I'd turn round and bring them back home!:D
At least you know she is at home and happy with someone she knows!
Are you going to ring every day to see if she's okay?:D
Are you going to miss your OH!
We went away just before we got her - I've stayed out on a few occasions but the BF has never left her overnight (big softie that he is)
I do worry that he'll not look after her to the high standard she is used to though - I'll leave him lots of post it notes I think
I'll be -8 hours and the BF will be at work so I'll limit myself to calling every other day. If only my little Amber could answer the phone then I could clal her directly :eek:
Just incase he ever reads this then yes I of course will miss him - just not as much as the cat :eek:
you'd probably get more sense out of her too:D
How long are you going to be parted?
8 days :eek:
The bf surely can't muck it up too much during that short a time?:o
Well he has never, ever in 15 months changed her litter tray :eek: and cringes when I clean it our daily!! So that will be a bit of a shock. Other than that they'll be fine - I'll probably be relegated to the cat's bed when I get back
When my mum was in hospital for a fortnight I had to go round to her flat every two days to clean out the litter tray because her useless bf refused to do it! You'd think the stench would encourage them to get on with it wouldn't you!
He'll do it, I've told him unless it's cleaned every day and changed at least twice she'll poop in his shoes
I just think a house is not a home without any kind of furries in it, and anywhere you stay that has none makes it worse!
I hope you have a great time, and at least you need not worry too much about Amber, I bet they have a great time too.
And yep, I am of course glad she is at home with her 'Daddy' and not in cattery....
We'll see how she reacts when I get back - My childhood cat used to get annoyed for days and not come near me
She'll be fine - waiting for the fuss when you get back !
We have someone to come in and look after the cats but I hate putting our dog in, she pulls the saddest faces.
Looked into kennels but wasn't comfortable with it, then a friend of mine who has 3 dogs already said she would love to have him!
Alf loves other dogs so won't want to come home!
Shall be worrying all the time whilst i'm away and driving my OH nuts talking about him I expect:D
our samoyed quite liked going in kennels
next years holiday will now be cut back to 7 days only lol.

She was fine with her Classic FM, massage and watching the tame wood pigeons dance over the lawns.
She came home early too and my friend looked after her for 3 days.
She wasn't in a huff when I got home. I know I can leave her in the cattery should I wish to go away again.
Your relationship with your Impossible Princess always makes me chuckle, it's so cute!
Amber took to hiding under the bed initially, but within an hour or two she was out and after a day she was all over me again!!!
I must confess that although I missed her terribly (and yes I did "speak" to her a few times :eek:) it wasn't as bad as I thought!!
I'd not leave her again anytime soon though
At least if you do have to go away again you will know she will survive!
Macey completely shuns him when he comes round any other time, but when he is cat sitting she is quite affectionate with him. The minute we get back though she reverts to ignoring him (unless he's doing DIY for us and then she like to torment him by nicking his screws and generally causung mayhem).
I was quite peeved that when we arrived back this time she ran down stars miaowing like a lunatic, ran straight past me and addoringly started rubbing up against other half legs!
She couldn't have cared less that I had been gone but had obviously miss him.
Ah ! you're describing my girls to a tee ! One of them in particular worships OH - as soon as he stretchs out on the couch in the evening, along she comes straight onto his chest to cuddle him and take a nap !! The other one will climb onto the back of the couch and call him to say hello !
I feed them , brush them , clean the litter tray, talk to them,Listen to them, pet them , play with them , and anything they need... but their hearts belong to daddy !!
