My cats OK after home alone for 4 weeks!
I was on a trip abroad for four weeks. I left a ground floor window
open (I live in a very low crime area), plenty of dry food, several pots full of water on the floor. I dont have a litter box. I was a little worried, but I found all my 3 cats in perfect health upon my return. They were not even at home when I got back. Try doing that with a dog! Try doing that with indoor cats! |

Indoor, outdoor, whatever - no way would I leave a cat unattended for 4 weeks and think it's a good thing. "223rem" wrote in message ups.com... I was on a trip abroad for four weeks.

In my opinion, what you just described is *neglect.* Mine are indoor cats, but I wouldn't dream of leaving *any* cat (indoor or outdoor) for more than a day or two without having someone check on them. You are fortunate that nothing happened -- one could have been struck by a car, become ill, or run into any number of difficulties. You took a great risk by just assuming that they would be "safe" for a month, and that does not even speak to the fact that they were probably lonely (at least, they would be if you normally give them some attention when you are home). A dirty litter box is actually low on the list of problems to be considered. As a follow-up to your earlier message: Mine are indoor cats precisely because I *do* love them. They are protected and get lots of love and attention; they are not "prisoners."

Try realizing that you have posted enough about yourself that it would be very, very easy to figure out where you live. Within ten seconds I knew you were in the Indianapolis area. You tend to announce your trips, too. You might want to close the window next time. lol Your cats would do better at a shelter than there with you. Freak. |
