will she be really sad there? will she be normal when she comes back?

Question

i had to leave my loved kitten at a cattery because i had to go away for 6 weeks. I miss her so much and wonder if she will be sad there? will she be the same loving cat when i get her back? will she have pyschological issues being kept in a cage that long??? i need some help, im really worried, ive never had a cat before and am feeling really emotional being away from her

Answer 1

She will probably love the person she is with now more than you.

Answer 2

Well considering cats despise being locked up cuz they are free-spirited animals, she's probably a little pissed. However, she's not going to turn into a completely different cat unless someone at the cattery abuses her. I for one, wouldnt leave my cat at one of those places cuz theres too many animals there for your cat to receive the attention she needs.
Im sure she'll be fine and you have nothing to worry about. You cat will love you the same as she did when you left. She may just be a little disoriented.

It depends if you left her at a good cattery. She'll be fine. She may miss you a little but that's it. If it was one that you were not sure about then I would really quickly do some background checks on the place. I would normally let a friend watch my cat or something but that's not always an option.

Don't worry, I think animals never forget their beloved human.
A few years back I had some serious alcohol problem. I lost everything and had to go into rehab. My cat of ten years had to stay with a friend for almost a full year. When I got myself back together. I brought her back to my new apartment. It only took a few hours and it was like we were never apart. She lived three more years and it was best time I ever spent with her. She still live in my heart today. So don't worry I think your cat will still be the same loving cat. You and she will be even closer.

Answer 5

She'll be fine. I'm assuming in that statement you left her with a reputable business who does this for money and is properly trained and insured.
She'll probably be mad at you when you pick her up but you will be able to win her over.
You've done the right thing, she's safer than she would be being left with some "friend" who lets them roam and doesn't take proper care of them. I've rescued dozens of animals who've wandered off while being "cared for" by friends or neighbors who half the time don't even know the animal has gone missing til I show up with it.
It will be fine. She'll be fine. You'll be fine. Don't worry and enjoy your trip. The two of you will appreciate each other more for it.

Answer 6

She dose miss you but don't worried. You have a cat sitter every day for her right? You'll see her soon. I'm the same way with my pets. I always miss them and when I get home, I bring cat toys. They always miss me too but they turn out just fine. By them some toys for her and if they're is anyone to answer, call your cat. Your voice will calm her so she won't feel so bad.

Answer 7

Oh she's gonna be ticked off with you...but she will get over it. I'm assuming this is a long term friend from the way you speak of kitty. It is hard to leave them for extended periods of time I agree, they are your family after all. She'll be well taken care of and the kennel where she is likely allows them out of their cages for a period of time each day for exercise and socializing so don't fret, she will be there waiting for you safe & healthy when you get back.

Answer 8

They tend to take good care of cats there. She should be okay, though I really recomind leaving her in your house (or wherever she lives) and having a friend or relative come by every two days at least to feed her, pet her, clean the litter box, yadda yadda. That'd be best thing for her.
