[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A month is too long - for you and the cats. Even with daily company, 30 days is a looooong time for pets to be on their own. She should be getting a house and pet sitter. Typically, you pay them, but perhaps you all have friends from Europe who might appreciate a free place to stay in exchange for some pet sitting?[/quote]

OP here - yes I think a month is too long for just a 15 min visit every day for the cats. These cats are pretty old. I have suggested a paid service/or house sitter but she doesn't like that idea because her cats will not like it. I think I will hold my ground and say I will do it for 2 weeks. She lives 15mins away so the visit is pretty much an hour of my day taken.[/quote]

Well there are several months for her cats to get used to someone and she can start by having the person come once or twice a week.

The truth is what your friend really doesn’t like is having to pay someone to cat sit for her. It will cut into her vacation budget. So instead she is able to inconvenience you for free.

Tell her now you can’t cat sit at all. If she tries to guilt you say nothing. Like literally silent. And then just start talking about something else.
