The Food Bowl Goes on Auto Feed

I’m on auto-pilot from here on out to get ready for a vacation! We’ve got a friend taking the dogs (couldn’t bear the thought of them being boarded, and this friend loves them so it works out!), the cats will have a neighbor checking in on them to make sure they’re not killing each other and check their food supplies (we leave them extra bowls and dishes of water and food, and extra litter boxes when we go), and the same neighbor is taking Simon the betta fish too.

We also got the cats some extra toys to keep them busy while we’re gone – a Turbo Scratcher (see video above) and a bunch of little catnip toys to bat around. We’ve left them for long periods of time before (always with someone looking in on them) and they always cop an attitude when we get home – pretending to ignore us as if their feelings are hurt and we’ve done them wrong. They get over it as soon as we whip out the catnip, though!
