I have a cat that is almost 2. I have never had a cat before so I have a question.?

If I leave my cat alone from Friday afternoon to Monday afternoon, will she be ok? I will leave food, water and clean litter before I leave. Just need a few opinions! Thank you.

    A bit long (we show cats and leave them from Friday to Sunday). Monday's pushing it but if you leave two bowls of food and 4 water bowls (around the house) and 2 litter pans she should be ok.

    Yes, the cat will be fine. In such circumstances, a second litter box is a good idea, and make sure there is lots of water in a bowl that cannot be tipped over. If there is anyone who can do so, I like to get someone to drop in, every second day if not every day, just to make sure the cat doesn't look ill, hasn't gotten itself tangled in the curtains or something, and to give a few pats if the cat will accept them, or some wet food which should not be left out more than half a day. Leave a piece of your clothing on the bed, something from the laundry basket. In your absence, many cats get comfort from sleeping on clothes that smell like you.

    Yes. It is totally fine to leave your cat alone at home for 2 days. Just make sure there is plenty of food and water. Clean litter is a definit yes. Make sure all the windows and doors are closed so she/he cant get outside. Hope i helped.

    To leave a cat alone for the week end:

    1. Make sure there is plenty o food and water

    2.CLEAN kitty litter

    3.Make sure all your doors/windows are securely locked

    4.leave toys he/she is allowed to play with alone

    5.Sometimes pets like to hear your voice so if you have a home phone just call it and leave a message she can hear

    No No and No. Your cat will not be ok. You must get a nabour or friend or relative to go feed the cat daily and spend a little time with it also.

    i think your cat will be fine. if your cat only eats when it is hungry if you leave her enough food for the time you will be gone then shell be fine. cats are pretty self sufficient.

  • Please, have someone to check on your cat during your absence.Cats develop feelings of abandonment when left for days alone.Since you have recently acquired your cat it seems that she may still be developing her feelings of security in your home.Be kind and have someone to check on her at least once.
