Pet owners sometimes have to leave their pets for periods of time.

There are many reasons for this - a business trip, travel or hospital treatment. In this regard, a reasonable question arises - what to do with your pet?

Most often, cat owners give their furry friends to relatives or friends for temporary care, and this is their main mistake.

The thing is that cats are considered territorial animals.

This means that they experience much more tender feelings not towards a person, but towards a place, “their” space.

That is why, in cases of forced absence, it is better to ask neighbors or other acquaintances to come to your home once or twice a day to feed the animal, play with it and change the litter box.

This way, you will be able to reduce the level of stress that your pet experiences while you are away to a minimum.

The most important thing is that you must be sure that the people who have been entrusted with looking after the cat will not forget about their promise.
