Vacation

Most of my friends here know I have a cat that I have had going on 4 years now. Recently my husband and I took a cruise. We left 2 days before the cruise so we were gone 13 days total. My son was here and Tink knows him since he has lived with us since I got Tink. His girlfriend was here also with him. Tink knows her as well. They both said when we left that Tink howled every 5 minutes I was gone. he barely ate. I had left plenty of his dry cat food. His one bag was low so it should have been gone and the next bag opened. I have a second dry catfood that I switch him off every other day and it should have been gone also. neither one was finished. I assume he ate a little of each day of canned cat food which I give him in the evenings. When we got home that evening Tink was like wired. he would not come to me for a couple hours like he did not believe it was me. When he realized it was me he suctioned himself to me for the rest of the night. he literally had a paw on my cheek all night long! the next day I had to go get groceries. When I come home before I could unlock the door you could hear this howling behind the door. While he was at home within his own boundries, I could not imagine how bad it would have been if i had dropped him off at a kennel. He is better now since we have been home for a week now. But my daughter called and I am flying out friday because she is having surgery on Monday and her husband is over in Korea and no one to help her with the kids. I am hoping tink does better this time since my husband will be home. I really hate to put him through another ordeal this soon. I left our bedroom door open when we were gone, and his favorite blanket out. I guess nothing is as good as his mommy to him LOL What do you do with your pet while you go on a trip?
