Aww poor Tibbe! Poor baby didn't touch his food while you were gone, he probably stayed in 1 spot & waited for you! This makes me so sad, but oh how happy he must've been to see you finally home. I think my guys (esp Momo) would've devoured their food & slept all day while I was gone lolll.
All the vet offices around here offer boarding. Maybe they have something like that where you are? IDK if you'd rather have Tibbe sit in a cage all day, but I think the vet techs will steal some cuddle time w/him! They also give them potty breaks outside & give them food/ meds if needed, just like a pet hotel.
Take care of your sweet self Jeanie!
