hey peeps! Zoe’s going on 5 months of remission! Things seem to be going ok with her. As spring arrives I’m getting ready to spend a couple weekends a month at my family cabin over the next several. During these times before our brief stint with diabetes, I would leave her alone for those 2-3 days in my apartment with her bowl over filled with dry food. Now that she’s on a strictly wet food only diet things have become tricky. I don’t have a lot of people near by or neighbours that I know who could come by and feed her while I’m gone. My 62 year old mother has offered to help but she lives about a 25 min drive away (mostly freeway driving). I feed Zoe 1 can 156g of friskies pate wet food a day. Usually I feed her in quarters but some days if I’m busy it’s half in the morning half at night. Now I feel bad if I have to expect my mother to drive in to the city TWICE to feed my cat. Would my cat be ok if my mother gave her the whole can at once, say at noon everyday I’m gone? I usually leave Friday afternoon and back Sunday (or Monday if holiday) at noon. I know Zoe won’t starve to death. She most likely won’t scarf down all the food at once, but I could see her finishing it in a 6 hour window. Don’t know if I’m just over thinking it. Since she’s been in remission my anxiety towards her health has been turned to 11. Just wondering what others think?
