Someone come reassure me. Pet related.

We're up visiting my grandparents and family for the holiday weekend. We left our two cats at home and left a key with a neighbor to check on them if they had time. We left Thursday afternoon and we're going home tomorrow afternoon- so it's really only 2 full days that they're alone.

We left out tons of food and water, but sometimes our fat cat will refuse food when it's been sitting out too long. We just got a call from our neighbors that the key doesn't work- we know its the right key because we tried it before we left. Called up our friends who also have a key- and they can't get in either.

Now I'm nervous since no one can get in. We didn't leave any windows open because we didn't want it raining inside or someone breaking in. Our house is on the shady side with a big tree out front that keeps it pretty cool, but I can't help picturing our cats roasting away with no water because the little one knocked it over again!

My cats will be fine until tomorrow, right?

I'm sure we didn't deadbolt the door because we checked it right before we left. I'm thinking its stuck because of the humidity? But that's not going to help us tomorrow when we get home and can't get in either!

Thanks guys. I felt like a bad cat parent for not driving 2 hours home to check in them : (

Totally fine. The longest I leave my cats without someone checking on them is 4 days. So I wouldn't worry over 2 days.

I'm sure they are fine. I got a text message this morning from the dog walker/sitter lady that is watching our dog asking if we wanted her to put our dog in his cage after every walk.

We left yesterday morning. Now I'm all paranoid that he was left alone all day and night in his cage with no access to anything. I'm afraid to ask.

I've left my cat for 5 days with just giving her extra food. They are resourceful, I'm sure they will be fine!
