leaving cat for the holidays

Question
I am going away for the holidays for 2 weeks and must leave my cat with a friend.  I am concerned about her as I have to transport her via subway and my friends apartment is the size of a dorm room.  Will she be okay? and what can I do to help relieve her stress?

Thank you!

Answer
Hello!

You need to get a pet carrier to transport her.  Walmart sells them fairly cheap. Get a good one, NOT a cardboard one, as you don't want your cat to escape.  Put a fluffy towel in it to make her comfortable   Cats do not like change, so she may be scared.  She will more than likely hide when she is at your friend's house, unless she is a very sociable cat.  If your friend gives her lots of attention and a treat or two, she will probably be fine.  

God Bless,
