I have three indoor/outdoor cats which were with me the entire time I was recovering from surgery and during radiation. The cats and I spend about 20 hours day curled up together from day 9 of radiation to the end. I don't know what I would have done without their warmth and company. If she is capable of taking care of herself, she would probably rather be home with her pets.
Take care,
Eileen
