The annual New Year is coming soon, and the shovelers working outside will definitely rush home to reunite with their families during the New Year. For pet owners, it is even more difficult for them to go back to their hometown. Next, the editor will tell you what to do if a cat is left at home when you are away?
1. Preparing sufficient food and water is very important for cats, so the owner must prepare sufficient food and water for the cat in advance when traveling far away. If you travel for a long time, it is recommended to consider purchasing a self-service feeder and a water drinker, which will be more convenient for feeding regularly and regularly every day.
2. Prepare more cat litter boxes
Cats love to be clean. If the litter boxes are dirty, they may defecate everywhere. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner prepare more than two cat litter boxes for the cat before going out and fill it with clean cat litter to avoid affecting the cat's bowel movements. In addition, if conditions permit, you can also ask your friend to clean up the cat litter every other day.
3. Clean up dangerous items
Cats are very naughty, so the owner must keep the dangerous items at home before going out, especially wired, plastic bags, and toxic to cats, so as not to accidentally eat them. Those larger toys that cats cannot eat can be placed outside so that the cat can play on its own.
4. Ask friends to help take care of the cat. If it is convenient, you can also ask friends to help take care of the cat, add food and water to the cat, clean the cat litter box, etc. If your friends are familiar with cats, you can also come to the door to play with the cats frequently. If possible, you can also install a camera at home to observe the cat's condition at any time. You can also interact with the cat to increase the cat's sense of security and reduce its longing for its owner.
Note: It is generally not recommended that the owner leave the cat alone at home for too long. It is best to keep it within a few days, otherwise the cat's physical and mental health may have problems.
