Finding a cat sitter

Personally I would never entrust my beloved cats to the care of a friend or anyone for that matter if I'm going to be away from home. It's just too fraught with endless possibilities for disaster. If anything goes wrong it will probably mean the end of the trust at the foundation of your friendship. So many times I've heard of sad stories of people thinking they are doing the right thing entrusting a pet with someone while they are on holiday only to return to find something awful has happened. Is it really worth it when there are plenty of reputable catteries and kennels that offer complete indulgence for your kitty. Of course I'm not talking about any old cattery and if you are going to choose one check it our first. Some animals fret terribly in a cattery I know and certainly it's an upheaval to leave them but at least they are safe. It doesn't take much for a cat to escape through a door left carelessly open. If you are thinking of leaving home and asking a friend or relative to care for your cat here are some important considerations.
