Hey all of you cat owners! I have a couple of questions.
My friends went on vacation for a week and I am cat sitting for a few days. They left on Saturday, and filled their bowls with dry food (2 cats) and some wet. They have a water reservoir as well. I was out all day Saturday, and yesterday as well. My friends assured me the cats will be fine til today.
Which they are. I went and checked on them and aside from being a little attention starved (I played around with them for a few minutes, made sure to pet them a bunch) all was good. I changed their litter, fed them each some wet food, filled the water reservoir, and gave them each a heaping scoop of dry food.
So my main question here is, do I need to go every day? My buddy said that I can go once every other day and feed them. Since I did it this morning around 10 AM, the theoretical next time I would do it would be Wednesday at around 4:30 PM. Is that too long? Cats don't strike me as dumb creatures. They know not to overeat or over drink, and adjust after a couple days.
It's not that out of the way to go every single day, but a good 40 minutes each way.
Cat owners, your opinions?
