    Ahhh poor kitty! I think it’s somewhat universal though…I watch my brother and his wife’s cats for them from time to time and one of the cats comes out and is very interested in saying hi. The other, not so much. I basically have to scout the house to find where she’s hiding just to confirm she’s ok before I leave her alone. Then, my friend texted me yesterday saying that she’s really sad because the girl who watches her house when she’s gone just let her know she’s moving in a couple of months and her cat was just starting to warm up to her and not hide every time.

    • It’s pretty stressful for a cat.

      Dogs probably don’t mind (depends on the individual dog, really), but it is hard to find hotels that allow pets and usually more expensive when you do find one.

      Plus if you’re doing stuff like visiting Disney Land or something, why bother bringing them? They can’t go in the park, and they most certainly couldn’t partake in the rides. So it would just be cumbersome having them with you.

      I think on average, it’s probably easier with a dog than with a cat, just because cats tend to be less social, but it definitely depends on the animal’s personality.

      Some cats love car rides, some absolutely hate them. Some dogs love car rides and don’t care about being around a lot of strangers, others might go into fight-or-flight from stress.
