How Long Can Cats Be Left Alone: Here's Their Max
Cat owners sometimes mistakenly believe that cats are such independent creatures that they do not need attention and affection.
However, fluffy (and hairless) purrs also value human company and need displays of kindness and affection.
Experts say that a cat can be left alone for a maximum of 24 hours.
For some animals, 24 hours may be too long.
To answer the question of how much time a pet can spend without company, it is necessary to take into account its health, temperament, activity and age.
For example, a small kitten that requires three or four meals a day should definitely not be left unattended for long periods of time.
Some cats experience separation anxiety, which manifests itself through signs such as excessive meowing, refusal to eat or drink when the owner is not present, frequent urination in inappropriate places, vomiting, constant licking, destructive behavior (such as damaging furniture), and exuberant displays of joy when the owner returns home.
So if you have to leave your cat alone, make sure it has a space to play while you're away. Alternatively, place the cat complex near a window so your pet can watch what's going on outside.
If you are going to be away for more than a day, ask someone to visit your pet.
