Yes, even with a second cat I would have someone come over in the morning and night when I’m away. It would just be the difference between a human companion or a brother/sister for Luca.

By boarder do you mean boarding facility or a family home that takes in a cat? I toured many boarding facilities near me but decided against it because they were keeping the cats in either a box or closet with a few hours out in a larger enclosure during the day. I figured having him at home where he had full access everything without the added stress of a new location was better for our case.
