Home for a Cat

Home for a Cat

By Kareena74

I am going away this summer for a month or maybe even 6 weeks, around the mid of July till the mid or end of August and I am extremely concerned about my pet Davey the cat. Last year when I went away in summer, I had left him with a friend of mine but unfortunately since then they have moved so this year I have absolutely no one I can leave him with. Can anyone suggest what I should do? What do pet owners here generally do? If someone is willing to house my cat, I would of course pay for all expenses. I know July is still away but I want to know now for my own peace of mind.

Sorry.. Cats should have wishy washy names.. Dogs have proper names like Davey, Lassie, Fido etc..

His real name is David (kept by his previous owner' daughter) but I have shortened it to Davey as it sounds more of a catty name. David is too human, isn't it?

LLR Thnks for yr clarifying our doubts about sexual behaviour of cats But the OP is a female so she has male cat

Yup...last year we had another male cat with him OMG they just made a disaster in home fighting with strange voices like killer cats...so my friend told me that it is not gay. (:

He has done Neutering though but dont wanna try again..if the OP has a female cat I might have surely taken it.

I'm sure there is a cattery in Doha. Poor David. I'm sure he wants to go too. Take him with you.. Pet passports are straight forward..

"My friend has a male cat which is not gay"

How in the world would you know the sexual orientation of a cat? Have you watched him hump female cats?? :S

I love cats but dont fancy them living in my home as hairs everywhere makes me feel like I am in a garbage.

My friend has a male cat which is not gay otherwise I might have taken it as few weeks are not big a deal...

My friend is also like you he has no one to take care of his cat...normally when he travel he will just inform the security guy to feed him morning and evening..

If u dont have any other options u can also tell someone to just spend few mins to put food.

There is no one like that and in any case I am vacating my flat soon and moving elsewhere temporary and then once I come back in July I will be moving in with my BF who would then be my husband..

Does anyone in your building, or someone you know, have a cleaner that might be willing to do it?

Last time I went to Saudi I left my cat in Veterinary ( Canadian Veterinary) if i still remember the name, 50 Qr. per day, btw when I came back my cat lost lots of hair and weight as well, once he came back home he slept full time for one week :)

No, I have a cleaner at my office and I take him home twice a week to clean my place. There is no one I can leave the cat with..

By Miss Mimi• 21 Mar 2013 10:22

Do you have a maid or a cleaner? I always used to pay our cleaner to come every day and look after ours.

He is a total indoor cat, very meek and mild. He is the personality of a mouse in fact.

He is completely neuered and spayed. He is male. I have his medical history which I will provide you with. I am definitely coming back.. I work with QP.. Need I say more to guarantee my return.. Unless I get killed in a plane crash..

By Vianafs• 21 Mar 2013 09:59

is the cat Neutered?

male or female?

how is he/she with the other cats?

is he a total indoor cat or who lives in both indoors and outdoors?

whats the age and is it up to date with its vaccinations?

+one more question, what if you dont return back? it happened once with someone else. that's the only reason y im asking :)

its always better to leave them with someone u know assuming that they will treat them just like u do. and if i was in your position, the animal souq will be an option, but my laast laaast laaast one!
