Cats/Going away

Question
I have four cats, one 20 year old, one 15 year, one 9 month old and one 8 month old.  We are going on holiday soon for a week and I have asked a cat sitter to come over twice a day to feed the cats and change the litter trays.  I have also asked my neighbour if they will come in everyday to give the cats a fuss.  I am worried that the younger cats are too young to be left on their own and wanted some advice on this.

Answer
Have a wonderful holiday!  And don't worry about the kitties.  It sounds like you have taken great care to be sure they are well taken care of while you are away.  At almost a year old, the young ones will be just fine, as they have their older friends, and each other, to keep them company.
Thank you for using AllExperts, and I hope you have a great holiday!
