About having a cat though I go back to Japan temporarily every year.

Greetings

I am posting because I am wondering about keeping a cat in the U.S. and was wondering if anyone currently has one or is familiar with the information.

I would like to have a cat, but I go back to Japan temporarily for 2 weeks every year.
I had not actually planned to have a pet, thinking about the furlough, but
I have always wanted to live with a cat, and now that my son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and I know that living with a cat would have a very positive effect on him, I am seriously considering getting a cat now.
Most importantly, my son also loves cats.

What do cat owners do when they leave their homes for long periods of time? ？

If you have left your cat with someone you know, please let us know if there are any precautions or problems that have occurred.
If you have ever stayed at a pet hotel, please let us know the location and the rate （ I have looked at various websites, but many of them do not know the rate … I have the impression that there are not many hotels to begin with ）
If you are looking for a hotel in BibiNavi, please let us know the daily rate. …

I would like to be well prepared to pick up a guest, but I have little information about what to do if I am away from home for a long time …
By the way, my house is a townhouse （. I don't know if this is relevant, but … ）

If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

Maki, thank you very much for the useful information. I didn't know that there was an option to call home, so this was very helpful. It is really helpful that you wrote down the specifics … such as camera installation, market rates, and how often to call a cat sitter. I see that the pet hotel is in a cage. I didn't know much about the actual situation and didn't know that it could be a bad place for cats. Thank you for telling us.
I really appreciate that Maki, who actually had a cat, told us in detail how she did it when she went back to Japan temporarily. It gave me a concrete image of what to prepare and research, and was very helpful. Thank you so much ！

Hello, I am a grandmother in my 70's and have been unable to work for a long time due to health problems. I see that there is such a thing as cat-sitting. I can drive and it wouldn't take much physical strength. I've never had a cat but I don't dislike cats, so I would like to do it for about 1 ～ 2 hours for a Japanese family. I'm glad I found your article very informative. I wrote to thank you for your help.

Hi, I have a cat that I brought from Japan.
I leave him at my friend's house when I travel or go back to Japan temporarily. When my friend is traveling, I take care of my friend's cat. I don't receive any fee from my friend because we both have the same cat. We only exchange souvenirs.
If you are traveling for 2 nights, you can leave your cat at home if you prepare more water and food, and if possible, two toilets.

When leaving your cat at a friend's house, you need to be careful that
① the cat is spayed or neutered （ cats have a 100% pregnancy rate after mating ）
② you also bring a toilet （ that has your scent on it
③ Have your nails clipped （ It's quite scary to clip someone else's cat's nails ）
④ Have a room or cage where your friend's cat can be alone and safe for the first few days.
A collapsible cloth gauge called a pet tent is useful.

Also, it is important that the cats are compatible with each other.
If the owner agrees, you can leave the cat with the owner for a few days as a trial to see if they are compatible.
However, they will probably be intimidated for the first few days, but you may be able to see if they are just playing with each other or if they are fighting so hard that they could injure each other.

Cat sitting is great to have a familiar home environment, but
if you ask for about an hour a day, the other 23 hours may be lonely because of the solitude.
We have heard stories of people who have become so lonely that they have started roughhousing in bed during readable trips.

Leaving her at a friend's house is not without stress ・ ・ ・

I hope you can find a cat friend near you ＾ ＾
I live in Foster City. I live in Foster City, but if you're nearby, I can take care of him for you.

By the way, townhouses have stairs, so it's a good environment for cats to get up and down exercise.

Charles, thank you very much for your very detailed information on leaving your friend at home. It was really helpful for you to write down exactly what to be careful of and what to prepare. Thank you also for your kindness to offer to take care of our child for 2 nights ！
We will not ask you to do so because we are a little far away, but we are very happy that you are kind enough to offer to take care of him for us! I am very glad to hear your kind offer to keep the cat. I didn't know that townhouses have stairs and are a good environment for cats, so it made me feel very comfortable to pick up a cat. Thank you very much for everything ！.

Like Charles, I also take care of my friend and hers. However, in our case, we go back and forth because our cats do not like to leave each other's homes,(恐怖い).
We live here in San Jose, so if you are in the area, please contact us.

Are there any stores in the city that carry small bird supplies? Please let me know if you know of any.
I will be visiting in November as a tourist. I have a cockatiel at home and would like to find toys, treats, etc. Thank you in advance for your help.

Looking for a place to keep a medium sized dog （ long term ）

Due to circumstances, I need to return home temporarily for about 6 months and am looking for a place to keep my child for that time.　I am not sure how long it will be, but I think it will coincide with the holiday season. I have been able to ask a friend and her family for help, but they are planning to move soon, so I can no longer ask them.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Since we are long term, dog boarding, dog hotel, etc. would be out of our budget, but we may have to consider it when the time comes.
Do you have any other recommendations on sites such as Rover.com ？
Thank you.

Dear Nobu,
Thank you for your inquiry.

His breed is Pit Bull （ small size ） and he is 4 years old.　
He is a very lost child in terms of first impressions, both in terms of appearance and in terms of breed.

but to me he is a Labrador in a Pit Bull suit, he may take a little time to warm up, but as long as he gets a walk and exerts his energy, he is a couch potato. They love to be snuggled up to their owners.　He is very responsive to cats. With small children and other dogs it depends on their chemistry. He can be a bit of a bully to dogs at times. He goes potty on walks and several times a day during the day in his designated spot in the back yard. but when he is stressed, he tends to take it off a bit.
I was thinking of a budget of ＄ up to 3,000.
That's all.
