Home Alone: How Long Can Your Cat Spend Without You
Situations in life can be very different.
It is impossible to predict events and prepare for them in advance.
Still, sometimes you have to go away on a business trip for a day, and sometimes you have to spend a week in the hospital. And the cat may be left alone at home.
But what to do in such situations? How long can a pet be alone?
As veterinarians note, an animal will feel fine alone for a day, and then begin to feel sad.
In extreme cases, a pet can spend no more than three days alone. The cat must have access to food and water. The litter box must be clean (you can leave an additional one).
If you have to leave your cat alone for a long time, it is important that a neighbor or relative visits the apartment and changes the animal's water, adds fresh food and cleans the litter box. It is desirable that the animal is already familiar with this person.
These are the minimum rules that will make your pet's loneliness more comfortable.
