The cattery was fine. Two areas, one "outside" in that it's a fenced off, covered run, but it lets him get some air and snooze in the sun if he wants to.

I can't leave him with a trough any more. He needs meds and someone to make sure he's in good health. But I never left him more than a 4 nights with a trough anyway. Usually a friend comes in but it's not practical this time.
