Zoologists give different answers to the question of how long a cat can go without food.
Of course, no experiments were conducted on this matter.
But there are real cases proving that cats can go without food for quite a long time.
How long can a cat go without food?
In 2007, there was a case where a cat spent more than a month in a shipping container without food or water and survived.
The further fate of this cat is unknown, but the very fact of such vitality is impressive.
Of course, this does not mean that all cats can go a month without eating without health consequences.
A young healthy cat of normal build can live without food for about 2 weeks, an elderly cat (over 7-8 years old) – no more than a week, a newborn kitten – a day.
