3 days only.. OK?

Selamat Hari Raya!! So, you are going back to your home town? Gathering with your family and loved one. But who is looking after your fur-babies? Although some cats travel well, most really don't enjoy traveling. If you're going to be gone only a day or two and your cat free feeds and has no special care needs, you might be able to leave him alone with plenty of food, water, and litter. But if you'll be gone longer or if your cat needs medication or can't free feed, you'll need to make other arrangements.
Whether you choose to board him or hire a pet-sitter to come in, make reservations as much ahead of time as possible.
Many Petshop accept cats, and many vets offer boarding for client's pets. If your cat requires special care due to medical problems, consider boarding your cat at the vet's when you travel. Good boarding petshop can handle most routine support for cats with special needs. Consider your cat's overall comfort, the quality of care and attention he'll receive, and how long he'll be boarded. Some cats find the atmosphere of a veterinary facility very stressful, so a boarding petshop that accepts or specializes in cats might be better!

Ask your family, friends, and veterinarian for good boarding facility recommendations. Before you make a reservation, ask for a tour. The facilities should be clean and reasonably free of odors. Cats should be boarded separately and should have no physical contact with their neighbors. It is a prevention step for any disease. Find out who will handle your cat and who else will have access to him. Be particular! Its for your own good. Feel free? you may try this link : http://www.petknode.com.my/

Chika and Choco prefer to stay at home, so I found that a pet-sitter is a better choice than other boarding facility. You should consider this option. Usually the sitter visits the home a specified number of times each day, although some can be hired to stay full-time, sitting not just your cat but also your home, plants, newspapers, and mail. To find a qualified pet-sitter, ask your veterinarian and friends for recommendations. Or maybe your friend can offer helps! :P
It's essential that you feel good about the sitter you hire, for your cat's well-being and your own peace of mind. Selamat Hari Raya!! Drive safe and Enjoy your holiday!!
