Buddy - concern - leaving alone overnight

[jennielynn1970]

I know how you feel... I worry about mine when I go up to the cabin and they are all alone.

He should be fine, and like Laura said, you'll get the pout or the affection. Hope things go well with your dad. Good thoughts and prayers going out to you and your family.

Thanks everybody! My dad was released today so I got to come home after work and I can sleep in my own bed tonight...yeah!!!

After I got home from work this evening and fed the cats I ended up with Buddy on the arm of my chair and Tinker on the footrest. Both were sleeping and purring happily. Life is good and back to normal.

I have a pet sitting business and am often away from my cats for a couple days at a time. Laura's Babies is right. When you get back, you'll get ignored by some, velcroed by others. They get over it the minutes the can opener comes out.

Cats, as long as they have adequate food, water and a litterbox, can be left alone for a night or two. Make sure you put a nighlight on and a radio. They'll be fine!

Well, I know how you feel. We will be leaving Paizly and Jax for about 4 days next week. I'm not at all worried about Paizly. But we've never left Jax overnight. He has come to Tahoe with us the past two times. While I know he will be fine. I just hope he doesn't torment Paizly too much. LOL

Glad to hear your dad is out of the hospital and things are back to normal in your house.

I agree. Cats are pretty resilient. I have come home to find a stack of dishes tossed to the ground and both the fridge and freezer wide open. They do revenge very well. LOL! But all and all, they manage. I think they also understand and know you have to go to be with your mom and you didn't just go on holiday and abandon him. It's all good. Concentrate on your family and your furfamily will be fine.
