I would never leave my cats for more than 6 hours. More than overnight trapped inside a house is tantamount to abuse IMO. Flame me if you will but that's my belief. I'm not flaming. I'm just asking. You never go out for more than six hours at a time? How do you work that? |

I see how nosy people are as they check my bookshelves even when I am in the same room with them. Not everybody is your enemy. I personally couldn;t go through life not trusting anyone. But that's me. I probably lead a different lifestyle to yours. So, no, I don't let strangers or even family members have free run of my house when I am not around...I would hate to check the time-delay camera and then have to kill them. Kill??????? Geez...Not gonna comment much on that, just gonna say that we hate guns in Britain. And having a neighbor visit every day or two doesn't fix most of the things you described--break-in, things falling on them, accident, gas leak, etc.) No it doesn;t fix them true, but they can be noticed on time, and if cat is in danger, taken to the vets straight away, instead of 8 days later when it could be too late. As for running out of food and water, I already described the two large bowls of each, plust the toilet seats up. Well must say I';ve never seen cats drink from toilet like dogs do, I didn;t think they can reach it. Plus I can;t see how drinking from the toilet is higynic. Ain't gonna be no cat skeletons even if they ran out of food. Get with the math, man! I have. Hence my comments. Oh and it's a woman. Stop acting as a catlover cop. I answered the person's question...I don't need lectures from ****heads like you. Tim, chill. You explained your points already. I explained mine. Using this kind of language will not change either of our opinions.We are all here animal lovers, and sometimes you will get people dissagreeing with you and giving you advice. Take it or leave it. And if I and others stop acting like "catlover cops", how will people who don't know learn? You obviously have issue with authorities and with a reason, but I am not the one, I just simply love animals and am trying to help when I can. Your answer was honest, which is why I didn;t have a go at you at all, but both you and I could hardly reccomend to all people that is OK to leave cats alone for 8 days regularely. See the point?

Funnily enough I have a cat who does this, or she did until I cottoned on and started making sure the lid is down after every flush. That's the last place I want her drinking from! |
