Whether your feline likes to explore the outdoors or roam around the house, most cat breeds are okay being left to their own devices - and, if occasion calls for it, in some cases cat owners can leave their cat alone for up to 24 hours, as long as they are safe and have access to fresh water and food. If you’re considering leaving your cat alone for a period of time, keep reading as we share our recommended tips and tricks to help your cat remain settled and comfortable while you’re out of the home.
