How long would you leave your cat on their own?

[FishfingerFlinger]

We used to leave our cat alone for up to 2 nights, mainly because that was maximum number of meals his automated cat feeder catered for. We’ve now upgraded to a fancy new automated feeder that will dispense biscuits for up to a fortnight…which raises the question how long is too long for a cat to stay home alone?

I used to have one of those automatic . Feeders. Left the sod for 5 days and he moved out and in with the neighbours as he was so lonely. I haven’t gotten over the guilt.

This is what I’m most worried about. I can tell he is well from the webcam but I can’t tell he is lonely. He used to be accustomed to us being out for long days and going away overnight, but in the last 18 months he’s got used to someone being around practically all the time,
