Hi all

Hope you can help. My little cat oliver is 2 years old, and totally
adored
and spoilt. The thing is, I hate going away and leaving him, as the
people
who look after him only pop in to feed him and let him in/out. It's kind
of
them to do so, but on the rare occasion if I do do go away, all I do is
worry constantly about him, and whether he's lonely, which is why I do so
very rarely. To be fair, he seems fine when I get home, allbeit a little
clingy for a few hours , but my question is, what is best for him, that
he's
on his own territory but very lonely, or that I give him one of those
pills
to make him drowsy then take him with me on a 3 hour drive to my parents,
where he will be with me, but cooped up in a (spacious) strange
environment
for a week?

Any advice appreciated
Many thanks
Lisa



My daughter takes her cat out in the car quite a lot sometimes just to go to
the shops and back, so she is very used to her carrier and car now. She
also takes her out visiting friends, her cat hated it to start of with, but
now is so used to it, its not a problem anymore.
