If we don't get a self-employed friend, there are a few nice young people at the vet's office we might ask.

We have to have someone come in a mind the cat anyway - we're used to leaving for extended periods with someone coming in to feed her and play with her a little

But this is the first time since my mom died and my dad fell ill and we moved in with him that we've BOTH been able to leave the house for more than 2 hours at a time, so 'what to do with Frank' is a new problem for us. We used to travel a lot, and we really miss it.
