[pct-l] What to do with cats?

[Tortoise73 at charter.net (Tortoise)]

Best response I've had so far. Back in 1996 when I only had one cat and 
lived in an apartment in Oakland, I hired the teenage son of a good 
friend to come by my apartment every 2 - 3 days and put out fresh food 
and water, clean the liter boxes, and pick up my mail. Worked out well.

I've since moved a couple of times and have yet to meet someone locally 
who i could depend on to do the same. I have resorted to boarding my 
cats at my vet, especially when my mother died and I left hurridly. Vet 
care also solved the problem of nursing one cat who had had an abcess 
with surgery to remedy and needed medication and attending. However as 
you say, such boarding is expensive for long term absences as well as 
hard on the cats. i have already arranged with my vet to provide 
emergency care if needed while I'm gone.

I'll start asking around.  BTW, how did you cats react to being in with 
other strange cats? My cats sometimes don't even get along with each 
other, let alone other cats in the neighborhood.
