I'm going out of town for a few days in October and there will be a total of 3 days that Mrs. Robinson doesn't see me and I'm already feeling guilty.
I'm sure she'll be fine and she's quite capable of taking care of herself for that period of time since she was feral for many years but I can't help but feel bad about leaving her.
Of course I'll put down more than ample food for her and plenty of water. I'm wondering if I should get a second litter box for her. I clean her box daily and sometimes twice a day if she uses it that often. The box is located in the garage and she has a little pet door which lets her go directly from garage to house, it's an attached garage.
Do you think going 3 days without cleaning it would make her not want to use it and would a second litter box be better so she can choose to use whichever suits her? Any other advice?
I agree that a couple of extra boxes is a good idea. Even though she gets stressed out, can someone come by once to make sure she has enough food and water?
She'll have plenty of food and water enough to last her much longer than 3 days. I'll have two sets of bowls out for her, one in the garage and one in the house. It will last her 2-3 weeks at least.
Is your garage insulated? I'm thinking about where to put my cat's litter box once we move. I thought about the garage. What are the pros and cons of the garage set up?

No it isn't but I keep a swamp cooler in there in the summer for her because of the heat. Temps in October when I'll be gone are usually really good, not too hot and not too cold.
Besides, she goes into the garage and out as she pleases. She has full access to the house. She actually likes the garage. She has another cat tree in there and everything she needs. She spends as much time in the garage as she does in the house. It's almost like she has her own apartment when she wants to use it and she's always used the litter box in the garage, never has she had an accident in the house.
