If I stop a minoxidil treatment for periods of 2-3 weeks every couple of years, does it affect the results?

I want to start a minoxidil treatment for my hair loss, but I heard the substance is very dangerous for cats. I don't have a cat myself but my mom does, and I visit her about 2-3 times a year for about 2 weeks at each time. I would be obliged to stop the treatment during that time. Would that affect my overall results?
