just to clarify, I am gone for usually 1 month at a time 4 times per year, not 4 months at a time.

Another point for cats. When I leave for a long period of time, I simply have a friend check on them about 3 times a week. Make sure they have enough food/water for a few days (Since they won't over-eat themselves like dogs will), empty the litter box about once a week (Automatic Litter Machines are great), maybe use the laser pointer for some fun, and you're all set. No $25/day to take care of your pets. Also cats don't tend to get all traumaed up when you leave them for a decent amount of time.
