We are going away for one night, we’ll be leaving in the evening and returning the following evening. Our cat in this warm weather has been spending most nights out all night, she doesn’t have a cat flap but can climb through our bedroom window which we leave open for her. She spends all day and most of the night outside and only comes in to eat.
As she’s such an outdoor cat I think it would be more cruel to lock her in for 24 hours whilst we go away than it would to leave her outside. We have an outdoor office which we could leave the door open for her with her food, blankets and water in so she’d have somewhere to go if she needed to.
Is this a bad idea? The alternative is taking her to my MILs for 3 nights but she’d be shut inside there too.
Advice welcome ☺️
