If you are traveling, it is important to keep a timer on some of your lamps. Otherwise your animals will be in total darkness for extended periods of time.

We did this when we went to Mayo. It also helps anyone who is coming in to feed them. We left a radio on in the bedroom and a tv on in the den area. I also threw my husband's tshirt on his chair and my robe on my lounge area. All this helps with their loneliness and security.
