Okay, my anxiety is kind of taking over a bit. I have to go out of town and board my cat for a week. I'm not really afraid of him spreading anything to me (I fully plan on giving him a bath when he gets home) but am concerned by the possibility that he could catch covid and get sick himself. He is up to date on all vaccinations.

My other option is to pay a bit more and have someone come into my house to take care of him - he'd be exposed to less people and other cats that way, but I'm not sure that's really much better.

Any advice? Can someone help me rationalize this?
