Question
I am going away for the holidays for 2 weeks and must leave my cat with a friend. I am concerned about her as I have to transport her via subway and my friends apartment is the size of a dorm room. Will she be okay? and what can I do to help relieve her stress?
Thank you!

Hello!
You need to get a pet carrier to transport her. Walmart sells them fairly cheap. Get a good one, NOT a cardboard one, as you don't want your cat to escape. Put a fluffy towel in it to make her comfortable Cats do not like change, so she may be scared. She will more than likely hide when she is at your friend's house, unless she is a very sociable cat. If your friend gives her lots of attention and a treat or two, she will probably be fine.
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
