Many cat owners are forced to leave their pets alone at home while they are away.
We tell you how many days you can leave a cat alone at home and in what cases you shouldn’t do this.
How long can a cat live without its owners?
Much depends on the age of the pet. If an adult cat can be safely left at home for a day, then a kitten - no, it may not survive this.
Older cats also do not tolerate even short separations from their owners well.
You also need to take into account the cat's health: you cannot leave your pet unattended even for a short time if it is sick.
A young healthy cat can be left alone for a maximum of 7 days. Longer loneliness is dangerous for her physical and mental health.
Breed also plays a role. Eastern breeds (sphynxes, Abyssinians) tolerate the absence of the owner worse.
