@Hazu: big off topic (we could make a pets thread and talk there lol) but aren’t cats much easier to take care of? :P
Short answer, it depends on the cat 🐱 Long answer, based on my personal experience, out of my 4 cats, 1st cat is completely wild, an expert lizard, bird, and bat hunter who’d have no problem surviving alone if the situation called for it, 2nd cat loves the outdoors, but also loves cuddles, and like your dog, sufferf from separation anxiety ’cause of being abandoned, also loves the rain, litatrelly takes showers in the rain, and comes in with snot dripping from his nose, conclusion: not responsible enough to be left alone for a few days, 3rd cat, hates the outdoors, unless it’s summer, and even then prefers to sleep indoors, could i leave him alone indoors with a food dispencer for a few days? No, that food would be gone within 10 minutes 🐱🐷, 4th cat, new cat, not so well cat, and disappears for entire weekends just to come back monday morning with a big smile on his feline face as if nothing happened 🙀❤💥
So if you do have cats, even if they’re really independant, you best have a reliable and trustworthy cat sitter to check on them, daily, or multiple times a day
