I can't help but feel like a prick ugh my aunt has moved to Maffra and is hosting family tomorrow night/overnight to celebrate housewarming/April&May birthdays.
I have not been able to organise for anyone to check on mickey while we're gone. It isn't feasible to bring him (dad driving us, aunt already has a cat, there will be a big dog). I know he'll be okay, we have done once before one Xmas where I left the aircon on for him and heaps of food around - so I'm confident he'll be okay and fine. But there's that niggling fear that I'm a bad fkn owner. Idk just a vent - I'm happy if people wish to pass judgement aita style.
I'm lucky he isn't super food motivated, I can leave food around and he won't scoff it then vomit. I'll put the reverse cycle on warm for him and make a couple of nests out of the oodies, hoodies, and couch-blankets. I'll leave dry food out and around and make sure his water is changed tomorrow morning before I go. He'll be fine! Fuck!
Could you set up a camera in the main area he uses? Might give you peace of mind if you could check how heβs going, hopefully heβll be fast asleep!
Hmm, that is a good idea, i'll see if I can mcguyver something up maybe tonight. I kinda left it to the last minute - Dad's picking us up at 8am ππ
If you've got an old phone spare you can download an app to turn it into a camera. I used Alfred but there are others.
