Advice on temporary home for my blind cat
Posted: Fri May 26, 2017 7:19 pm
Hi y'all,
I have a 1yo blind cat, Eugene. For those of you with blind cats, you know that they are amazing and incredibly adaptive animals. He's truly the best and most loyal cat I've ever had.
I am a musician and have been hired to go on tour for about three and a half weeks across the US this June. I'm worried about Eugene though - when I have toured in the past and have had other cats I have had catsitters come through, but because he is blind I worry he needs more stimulation than just a person coming by every day for a couple of hours. I have never been gone this long since I adopted him.
My girlfriend has suggested that I move Eugene to her house for the length of my trip. He's very familiar with her and has known her his whole life, and she does not have other pets. My worry is that because he is blind that putting him in a strange new environment and then 3 weeks later moving him back to my house is a bad idea.
What do y'all think? Should I move him over to her house or forego that in favor of a more traditional catsitter situation? I just want him to be happy
