I almost never go away on an overnight and haven't been away from home for an overnight in probably about 6 years.

I had to stay with my mom last night overnight because my dad was hospitalized for something minor yesterday.

I left the house yesterday about 5:30 p.m. and made sure there was plenty of food and water for all 3 cats to last through the night and into today when I can get back home and feed them early this evening.

Here is my concern. Buddy is used to having someone around in the evening and overnight. He always sleeps at the bottom of the bed. I will only be home for a couple hours this evening and then going back to stay with my mom overnight again, going to work tomorrow and returning home some time tomorrow evening. Do you think Buddy will be okay not having me around much for several days? He will have plenty of food and water, just not much human contact. Before my daughter went to college she would be around if I wasn't.

When my dad is released from the hospital, things will be back to normal hopefully.
