I'm really glad the cats are OK and sorry for your mental anguish, but
really, again, get something positive out of the situation and collar
and tag the cats. Stuff happens. When we lived in an apartment in
Chicago, one of my neighbors had her indoor cat (young, about a year)
slip out the door unnoticed when she went away for the weekend
UNCOLLARED.


I'd be more concerned someone went away for a whole weekend and left a
cat alone. I wouldn't have given her the cat back! Poor lil thing.


I'm with you on that one. Theyshould have arranged for a caretaker to
come in and feed the cat and scoop the litter. What were they
thinking of (assuming they are able to think at all?)


Not just its basic needs, but its emotional needs too. Cats need
company and stimulation. I've got three cats but if I'm upstairs and
they think I'm out I can usually hear one crying and it'll come to
greet me when I appear. Cats and dogs have no concept that you're
coming back, when they can't see you you've gone out of their world.
Two days or more is way, way too long for a cat to be alone.
