   Good deal. A couple of years ago I was in physical rehab after breaking a   
   hip. Obviously it wasn't a planned event but luckily I'd let the cat out   
   before leaving for work. I worried about the cat for the two months.   
      
   Cats being cats, after being discharged and returning home the cat showed   
   up in about 15 minutes looking well fed.   
      
   The rehab center did have a visiting dog. Apparently the interactions are   
   beneficial for the patients.
