Rajah our indoor cat is going to be home alone for the first time for a full week starting on Sunday, 29th August. We have booked a holiday in Corfu and although the neighbours are going to feed and water him whilst we are gone, I am very aware that he may get lonely because we are such a close knit family and he is definitely a major part of our unit.
Although he knows the neighbours, he is still hides when they come around to visit because he is naturally quite a timid boy. He sleeps a lot of the time, but he still enjoys our company and at least one of us are at home at any given time, and it's only on weekends when we go shopping or are at church that he is ever left alone for long. Am I being silly or do I have reason to worry?
