You have just brought home a kitten and you are wondering if it is OK to leave the cat alone for three days.<\/p>\n
When you bring the kitten home, it is likely that your vet will give you a care sheet to ensure that your cat stays healthy and safe.<\/p>\n
When you come across this care sheet, it will provide you with a few guidelines that you should take into consideration before your cat can be left alone for any length of time.<\/p>\n
It is a well-known fact that cat<\/a>s are more inclined to lick you when they feel safe and at home.<\/p>\n They are also less prone to scratching you because you are in a familiar place.<\/p>\n While the care sheet will state that it is not OK to leave your cat alone for any period of time, it does not rule out the possibility of leaving your cat alone for a small period of time during which time they will feel more secure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The above guidelines on the chart should allow you to make some changes in the way you live your life. When your cat is left alone, they will feel the stress and they will feel the tension. They will need a place to retreat to in order to recharge their batteries.<\/strong><\/p>\n Is it OK to leave your cat alone for three days, but only when it is ill or with an illness? If you are a cat owner, you may have already asked yourself this question. In a recent survey, nearly half of the UK population said that they don’t think it is safe to leave a cat alone for any time period.<\/p>\n Cats are social animals.<\/a><\/p>\n They require a lot of attention and affection.<\/p>\n Many owners say that their cats do not feel comfortable being left alone for long periods of time. And the fact that a cat has its own territory and eats a diet that consists of mainly vegetables and plant<\/a> based foods, means that they feel uncomfortable about leaving their own home.<\/p>\n Cats don’t have the same ability to tell good food from bad that we do.<\/p>\n Also, they will take what food they need when they can get it. Because of this, if you keep your cat outside all the time, it’s impossible for it to eat properly.<\/p>\n You must still be sure that you have the correct equipment for keeping your cat safe.<\/p>\n When you first bring your cat home, make sure that you put her in the correct carrier for her.<\/p>\n If you have a litter of kittens, they will usually stay indoors for a year or so.<\/p>\n You should take them out during the day, because these cats are usually very active and will tend to play with other cats in the neighbourhood. It is a good idea to teach your cat to remain outside during these times.<\/p>\n Any time schedule for your cat should include exercise. The more exercise she receives, the better she will feel. She will also benefit from a higher quality of life.<\/p>\n I’ve been asked, a lot recently, about the process of leaving a cat alone for two days.<\/p>\n What I tell these people is that you really should leave your cat alone for a period of time – but you need to be aware of the different conditions that cats experience and the things that can go wrong during this period.<\/p>\n When it comes to leaving a cat alone, a chart is something that needs to be researched thoroughly before you consider actually taking the leap.<\/p>\n To help people prepare, I’ve worked with some of my own cats and cat-rearing clients and have been able to provide helpful advice on the best way to handle this period of adjustment.<\/p>\n The chart itself is not the be all and end all of the discussion. It is only one part of the equation, which really is about ensuring that the cat is comfortable, relaxed and well looked after.<\/p>\n If you want to help the cat to adjust to its new situation and it is you, that’s great – but you need to be aware of how your actions will affect the cat.<\/p>\n There is a question that many cat owners ask, ‘How long can you leave a cat alone in the house?’ This question can be answered with confidence, if you know what you are doing.<\/p>\n Cat owners should never leave their cats alone in the house because cats are naturally territorial animals and this will lead to bad behavior in your home. Even the slightest escape can cause a problem in the home.<\/p>\n Cats are naturally highly intelligent and able to perceive their surroundings. Cats can sense when their owner is upset and even when they feel threatened.<\/p>\n They can move from one area of the house to another very quickly and they can mark their territory.<\/p>\n Cats can be unpredictable actions will upset your cat. So it is important to give your cat time to get used to the new environment and its new family.<\/p>\n A good idea is to introduce your cat to the new environment gradually and carefully.<\/p>\n Introduce your cat to new toys such as a ball or something similar.<\/p>\n Then gradually move the pet feeder away from the walls of the house. Slowly move the feeder further away until your cat does not feel threatened.<\/p>\n A cat will usually find their way back to the feeder<\/a> once it feels safe, but you need to be cautious in your movements. Never chase your cat. The cat may bite or scratch you.<\/p>\n They may even run off into another room to hide and startle you if you are too close.<\/p>\n Start by moving the pet feeder<\/a> to the far corner of the room.<\/p>\n Then gradually move it closer. It might take a while before your cat does not run to the feeder and it may take up to a week before your cat starts to ignore the feeder completely.<\/p>\n Once your cat becomes accustomed to the feeder being away from the walls, keep moving it farther away.<\/p>\n Start by keeping it far enough away that your cat will have trouble going near it, then slowly move it closer and eventually take it all the way out of the room.<\/p>\n When the cat no longer has any interest in the feeder, remove it from the room. Then move it back to the room it was originally introduced to.<\/p>\n This is a great way to train your cat not to fear its new surroundings. It can also be used to establish a cat house out of your home so your cat can roam around freely without the fear of being attacked by other cats.<\/p>\n Has your cat been unresponsive and has begun to eat catnip-like substances, which can be dangerous to your health, and can make you very sick if ingested?<\/p>\n Has your cat also become very reluctant to use the litter box?<\/p>\n Or maybe your cat has also started scratching furniture, breaking windows, or causing harm to other pets and property.<\/p>\n This is the time that you have to act fast if you wish to get your cat to stop behaving this way. First you need to discover the cause of this problem.<\/p>\n Here are three reasons why cats start behaving in a strange way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you don’t make sure that your cat gets the exercise and social interaction that it needs, your cat will become stressed and you will find yourself with lots of cat problems. One of the ways that you can help prevent this is by making sure that you play with your cat and give it a regular play session.<\/p>\n If you know that your cat has become overly aggressive toward people, other pets, and pets in general, then you need to get to the root of the problem.<\/p>\n If this problem is not addressed, then your cat may react violently to others, and it will soon be on the verge of attacking. Once this happens, you must immediately bring your cat to the vet so that the problem can be diagnosed and treated.<\/p>\n Another reason why cats get defensive when left alone for long periods of time is because of a fear of humans.<\/p>\n Many times a fearful cat that is left alone, is abandoned by its mother, or perhaps it was mistreated at an early age. If this is the case, then you should consider getting your cat checked out.<\/p>\n If you do have a frightened cat, you should not rush the vet. It takes time for your vet to accurately diagnose your cat’s problem. Your cat may just need your help to learn how to live in the “pack” once again.<\/p>\n Is it okay to leave the TV on for my cat? The answer is a simple, “yes.”<\/p>\n The first question that we should ask ourselves is if our pet has any allergies.<\/p>\n Cats, like dogs, are more susceptible to allergic reactions than we realize. While it’s not usually life threatening, it is serious enough that the pet may suffer if the exposure is prolonged.<\/p>\n Cats that spend time near appliances can develop skin problems that are similar to those of humans.<\/p>\n Also, do you want your cat to be able to hear or see on the television? If you do, it is best to keep the radio off.<\/p>\n If your cat does not make use of this sense, then it is okay to leave the TV on. If you have not already done so, you should install a motion sensor in your house that will turn the TV off once the pet leaves its area.<\/p>\n Other common household items that may irritate cats include baby wipes, perfumes, hair sprays, and soaps.<\/p>\n When your cat comes into contact with these types of things, you may want to consider removing them from your home for a while until your cat learns not to associate these items with the house.<\/p>\n I know I can’t be the only person who tries to avoid leaving shampoo in the sink when my cat needs to get shampoo!<\/p>\n A great way to prevent fleas is to wash your pet’s bedding at least once a week, or at least as often as the pet will tolerate. If you have one of those big cats, then your pet may spend a lot of time in this area, so it would be best to get it clean as soon as possible.<\/p>\n One more thing you can do to protect your pet and keep it safe is to try to keep it indoors as much as possible. You may have to do this for several months to ensure your pet does not become infected with a disease.<\/p>\n Getting rid of fleas can take quite a while, so be patient. You may need to spend a few months without this pest infestation in order to truly understand how difficult it is to get rid of.<\/p>\n Does the answer change if you allow your cat to watch the television with you?<\/p>\n For many people, it is okay to leave the TV on for their pets because they are simply watching something with nothing going on.<\/p>\n This is a good idea, but if you are watching a movie, then you should also be giving your pet a treat or feeding it. Of course, it all depends on the programming you choose, but it is recommended that you stay away from television if you cannot do this.<\/p>\n Hopefully you will consider these questions before you decide to leave the TV on for your cat. Your cat needs your undivided attention and if you want your pet to remain healthy, make sure you give it both the attention and the healthy attention.<\/p>\n The number of people who have been curious about the pros and cons of having two cats is probably higher than those who have never had pets in the past.<\/p>\n Some people who own cats and are looking for new homes want their cat or kittens to remain in the same home and as a result they will often have several cats to choose from.<\/p>\n So, are there any advantages to having two cats and if so which is best – a male or female cat?<\/p>\n It’s been proven that males do better in breeding, however you will be much happier with a single cat in a home if you want them to live in a monogamous relationship.<\/p>\n If you’re lucky enough to have a female who is relatively young, then you may be able to benefit from her.<\/p>\n However, cats are not very keen on other cats and when it comes to mating, both cats may decide that they prefer to have each other as their mate.<\/p>\n You will need to be prepared for some screaming and scratching in the night and you may even be faced with the odd toothless, deformed cat.<\/p>\n Male cats will often compete for females and the males will have strong jaws to bite off the females’ nipples.<\/p>\n This is where it gets dangerous for the female and she will often end up with internal bleeding<\/a> and possibly even needing veterinary treatment.<\/p>\n Male cats also tend to be bigger, stronger and more aggressive and therefore may need more space in a home.<\/p>\n They will also need plenty of room for them to roam and you may find that your existing cat is much happier at home than he would be in a separate fenced in area.<\/p>\n However, this means that you will need to consider whether having a cat in the first place was worth the risks of having more cats.<\/p>\n Kittens are harder to handle, as they can grow quite large and can easily escape from your home if they feel threatened. Even if you’ve already had a kitten, you may not be prepared for a cat that is a year old. Therefore, having just one kitten may be better for all concerned.<\/p>\n You will probably have to provide the same food for the male and female, because they have the same nutritional requirements. However, if you plan to mix male and female cats in your home, then you will have to provide a diet that is rich in protein, calcium and essential vitamins to ensure that they stay healthy.<\/p>\n Male cats are often more aggressive than female cats and you should consider whether this is something you want in your home.<\/p>\n Many owners can not live with this aspect of male cats, especially those who are concerned about the well being of their pets.<\/p>\n The only alternative to having two cats is to choose a dog as your pet and you could easily find that this is much easier than you may think.<\/p>\n Puppies are readily available at local pet shops and you can sometimes even find them in pet stores for sale, if you’re lucky.<\/p>\n However, many people are unable to put up with having a puppy and so you may find that having a puppy is better than having a cat because you can try to raise the puppy properly and you will not have to deal with some of the problems that go with owning a cat.<\/p>\n Male and female cats are definitely a good option, but you should also consider whether you want two cats or if you want just one.<\/p>\n If you decide to have just one, you should also think about the fact that you will be giving up all of the benefits that a dog brings to the table.<\/p>\n\n Is it OK to Leave Your Cat Alone For Three Days?
