Is it alright to leave my cat home alone?

I am going to be gone Saturday night and most of Sunday. I had a babysitter for my cat but he had a change of plans at the last minute. Would she be okay by herself (with sufficient food and water) in my apartment? She is a year old. I have only had her a month so I have never left her alone for longer than when I am at school during the day.

    When you come home and say "Kitty I'm back!" she will probably give you a look like- "oh were you gone?" Most cats have the inner resources to stand a day alone. That is one point in their favor.

  • As long as you aren't having issues with the cat urinating or defecating in your house or destroying things... I would say your cat will be fine. I usually leave out all my cats toys if I know I'm gonna be gone so they can play easily when alone. Good of you to check with others though... good luck!

    (She will probably just carry on like she usually does! =) )

    She'll be fine.Put out plenty of food and water and make sure she has a clean litterbox just before you leave.You won't have a problem for that short a time.

    She should be OK. Most cats are fine if left for a few days.

    I'd leave the radio or tv on. If you had 2 cats she'd be happier.....I'll bet she gets lonely when you're at school too.
