Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006How long to leave cat
My lady doesn't want my cat, Bert, to visit - 'he'll destroy my...' So I leave him. For how many days/nights is that fair/ok? Studio apt. Plenty food//water. -Brad > My lady doesn't want my cat, Bert, to visit - 'he'll destroy my...' So > I leave him. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -Brad How many days are you talking about? Who's cleaning the litter box? Most cats don't like dirty litter boxes; it encourages them to find other spots to pee/poop on and trust me, when they get upset they definitely will display their anger this way. I scoop Persia's box twice a day. How do you define "plenty" of food & water? And doesn't Bert require some personal attention? Someone to pat him, play with him and say hey, your "dad" didn't abandon you, he'll be back. Jill > My lady doesn't want my cat, Bert, to visit - 'he'll destroy my...' So > I leave him.

In my experience, you can have either cats or really nice, undamaged furniture - it's almost impossible to have BOTH! > In my experience, you can have either cats or really nice, undamaged > furniture - it's almost impossible to have BOTH! Hi Evelyn, I'd say that the cat trees in our house have some really shredded parts, but we have to blame ourselves for the recliner mechanism that wore out and the cushions that sag on the couch. The cats probably consider the shredded cat trees improved rather than damaged. Annie > My lady doesn't want my cat, Bert, to visit - 'he'll destroy my...' So > I leave him.

I'd be telling HER to 'hit the highway'; I need some quality time with my kitty! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

Not only would I not allow my lover's cat to be abandoned, but I would not want my lover to deal with the repercussions of leaving his cat.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > > > -Brad For the record, here is our guideline: 1. Cats alone in the house, with extra food/water, and radio left on to keep them "company" -- Maximum two nights. 2. Cats alone in the house, with radio left on, with someone coming to check in on them every day and put down fresh food and water and clean litter -- Maximum four nights. 3. Five nights or more, a kennel where they will be supervised for their stay and receive playtime and one-on-one snuggle time, with toys provided by us. That being said, if your lady won't accept your cat in her house, is there any chance she will accept your cat in her life? I suspect not. Therefore, if you want a relationship to be anything more than this one is now--if you are interested in a relationship with you & a woman living under the same roof--you might want to consider other candidates. --Fil > My lady doesn't want my cat, Bert, to visit - 'he'll destroy my...'

If you're a cat person, she doesn't sound like a very good bet for a long-term relationship! (And since you can be less fussy about a short-term one, why would you bother with her at all?) > -Brad >> My lady doesn't want my cat, Bert, to visit - 'he'll destroy my...' So >> I leave him.

Not THAT hard! (Not for any reasonably normal looking male in the twenty-first century!) > My lady doesn't want my cat, Bert, to visit - 'he'll destroy my...' So > I leave him. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -Brad It really depends on the cat. Some might be just fine, eat sleep and poop for I'd say no more than four nights. Others would likely spill the water, eat far more food than you would imagine and overfill and then distribute the contents of the liter box. That is in the first 8 hours. From there on out carpet, drapes upholstery etc are fair game. Really depends on how active and how secure the cat is. Jo > My lady doesn't want my cat, Bert, to visit - 'he'll destroy my...'
