Short trip: Should I take my shy cat or leave her with housemates?

Question

Hi, there is an issue with my living situation and I am needing to stay at a friend's house for a few days. I want to take my cat with me so that my housemates don't have to take care of her, but would it be alright for her to move her to another house for a few days? She's a pretty shy cat, so I'm worried that doing this would cause a lot of stress on her. What should i do? Leave her at the old house and have housemates take care of her, or take her with me?

I think the bigger question for me is whether being away from you for a few days would be a bigger stress than the change in environment. if so, then I would take her with you. If not, then leave her in her current environment so she doesn't stress out and ask your housemates to take care of her if you think they wouldn't mind. I hope this helps!
