They do. But when they get mad or upset, they soon forget about it.

You cat might get stressed but hopefully the catsitter will be nice, which will help.

OP here. This sitter has been watching her for about four or five years. So they know each other and have a pre-existing relationship.

My daughter is on daily cat duty for a friend while she's away. She feeds them, scoops out the litter, cleans up any mess and throws away the debris come trash day.

That's not the same thing as leaving an automatic feeder and waterer on for 10 days.
Which some people do.

This is what I thought the thread was going to be about.

You're not leaving your cat alone for 10 days. Also, super weird attachment to your cat.

I mean. Weird attachment would be never leaving the cat alone. I don't think it's weird to be anxious about leaving kitty for ten days which is kind of a longer trip.

It is weird, actually. 10 days is not a long trip. People travel all the time.

Our pet sitter plays with the cats after feeding them. After a few days of that, the cats demand playtime after meals when we get back. They might like the sitter more.

I don't understand why you are so strung out over the fact that some people feel bad leaving their pets.
