Most cats will be perfectly happy being left alone during the day, but if you need to leave them for longer, you may need to look into some different options such as boarding catteries or cat sitting services.
As cats snooze for around two thirds of their day (and even more in their senior years) and are happiest in their own homes, they should be fine left to their own devices for shorter periods of time, as long as you give them plenty of love and quality playtime when they’re awake!
However, if you’re going to be away for longer than a day, you’ll need to make sure that your cat is properly cared for. If you can’t find a willing friend, you could try use a cat sitting service or even consider a boarding cattery.
