I d' be worried that while I'm away the cats are looking for another home!

I plan to leave them alone for two nights in summer though. They can go in
and out and will be left with enough dry food and water and clean litter
boxes. Actually I wanted to go away for four nights but I know I'd be very
restless worrying about the cats. Even with two nights away I'll be
worrying, but I think it will work out well.
