I vote that you take Laya. Your kitty will be fine overnight. I have left my two for three days and had my mom check up on them everyday. They had plenty of food and water for the entire time, but I felt better that she was there to visit

I say who cares what your distant relatives think of you taking Laya! If having a dog makes you weird... then there are a lot weirder people out there they should be worrying about!
