Oh yeah Glassgirl,I am a 60yr old "girl"although sometimes my bones tell me different and a real close-up look in the mirror(which I avoid!)
I suggested boarding for a week,because it seems GG has nobody to give the cat her meds while she's gone,leaving her with a once a day feeding with someone,might not be good after having had a tooth extracted at her age.
She must be a little sweety and I hope she gets that nasty tooth out,then she might eat a bit more too.
