Savannah Adult
I've read other threads about this and I still don't know what to do. I have a 4.5 year old F3 Savannah, rescued just a few months ago. He was instantly happy in his new home, yet oddly still a little scared of my 15 year old lazy female cat. they want to be friends though and soon will be cuddling. I work at home so he is used to me always being around. In the past with reg cats, the times I went away for 1-2 weeks I would have friends drop in and visit. All was fine.
with Savannah I've read and would assume that won't be enough. but then what? I want to go across country to visit family around the holidays. boarding? $50/day would cost more than any trip I'm planning and it would have to be a boarder with few other pets. also don't want him stuck in a cage. Friends either have pets or allergic.
so would it be ok if I had someone come twice a day for 30 min or for a few hours once a day? He has not been a trouble maker like I hear many are, doesn't get into things.
or do I take him with me and leave my other cat at home for the friend visits? is he too tall for approved size in cabin carriers? he is small for a f3. If I take him with me I can make the trip 2 weeks instead of 7-10 days. and $50 each way for flight. just not sure what is best.
I'd love to hear others experiences
