    I am going out of town for a few days and even though I don't like it I have to leave my cat alone.... What should I leave for him to help him through this....

    I've left my cat alone for a weekend with 2-3 bowls of food, and several bowls of water. I have housemates that can come down and look in on her if need be...but, she has been fine with that. When I've come home, she is really lovey-dovey, she's been lonely, but not lacking for food or water.

    So I shouldn't feel that bad then... I was thinking of leaving the two tvs on in the house for him.

    You could do that, I guess, if you feel that would help...you know best what your cat would benefit from...it might be a good idea, from my experience, at least, to have a friend come in and check up on him to make sure he didn't spill the food bowls or anything...

    I hated leaving my cat too...made me nervous, and I've never done it for more than 2 days, but she was OK...just lonely for me, I think...

    extra food, water and litter....maybe some toys like those little plastic balls with the bells inside, to keep her entertained should she feel like entertaining herself
    I leave the tv on for my animals as well when im gone....(animal planet no less)[​IMG] and yeah, if you've got someone who could stop and check in on her, that'd be good too. have fun wherever your going~

    t.v.s let out a high frequency signal that can damage animals ears, so i wouldnt leave it on all the time, they need a little break from it.
