I'm worried that she's not remembering to take her medication all the time, and that she's not remembering to eat.

I think I may have to take an extra day off work next weekend and kennel my dog. (The cat will be fine on her own at home.) If there is some reason the petsitter can't make it next weekend, I'm going to do that.

Awwww.... what about home health care that could administer the meds?
