We have one cat, five years old, which is shut inside the house at night - with a timed cat flap that allows her to be outside during the day, but always inside at night.

A typical (and much loved) cat, she likes fuss and attention on her terms... I always leave her food for the entire time we are away, including shopped raw meat (she eats it once a day) which I parcel into daily portions and freeze, in order to make life a little easier for her carer.

We also have a house cleaner who comes fortnightly.

The house is close to public transport and shops.
