[Cat and house-sitting] How many days is it possible? Long-term house-sitting  Pet Sitter

Pet

The owner is also human, so sometimes he may go on a trip, be transferred, or go on a business trip. How should I raise a cat in such a case? If it is a short term, it seems that anything can be done, but if it is a long term, it will not be a level that you can manage by yourself. There is no choice but to ask a pet sitter at that time.

How many days can a cat stay home?

Cats are solitary animals, so it may be said that they are better at home sitting than dogs. It is said that if a cat is able to eat well, has access to water at all times, and has a clean litter box, it can stay home for a day or two without any problems. However, it also has a lot to do with personality issues. If the following conditions apply, the answering machine will become severe. When you go on a trip, please make a plan after considering the cat’s condition and personality.

kitten

Kittens, like humans, require a lot of care. In addition, since he is at an unstable age mentally, it is quite uneasy to let him live alone. Especially in the case of kittens, I don’t know what to do more than adults.

Older cats require a different pattern than kittens. Due to the high disease rate, it is a state where you do not know when you will get sick. I can’t say it’s very suitable for answering because the condition can suddenly get worse.

miss you

Some cats get lonely if their owners don’t take care of them all the time. This is the same type of cats as there are similar types in humans. It doesn’t make you sick, but it does cause you mental stress.

What you need for your answering machine

feed

It is best to keep food as large as possible. Automatic feeders are the most recommended. When the time comes, it will automatically feed you, so as long as you have electricity, you can keep feeding.

water

Water is essential for survival, not just for cats. When you leave your cat at home, make sure that it does not run out of water. In the case of water, there is something called an automatic waterer. As long as there is electricity, it is possible to keep the water flowing all the time.

toilet

Clean the toilet just before you leave. I’ll put a good amount of cat litter in it. We also recommend system toilets that keep things clean.

Temperature control

You need air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter. Cats are warm-blooded animals that can regulate their temperature, but extreme temperature changes can lead to death. Therefore, a device that can control the temperature is essential.

pet camera

It would be nice to have a pet camera as well. With a pet camera, you can see in real time what your cat is doing while you are away.

Long-term answering machine

The problem is when you are away for long periods of time. When it comes to business trips and travel, you probably won’t be able to come back in a day or two. It’s not a level that you can manage on your own when it comes to 1 month or 3 months. In other words, we have no choice but to rely on other powers. In that case, the following measures are conceivable.

ask a friend to take care of

A big advantage of asking a friend to take care of you is that there is no charge. But the problem is that your friend may not like cats very much. In that case, asking would be difficult. The disadvantage is that if you don’t have such an acquaintance in the neighborhood, or you can’t ask for it depending on your acquaintance’s schedule.

pet sitter

A realistic option is to hire a pet sitter. By inviting your cat into your home, your cat can be in the same environment as usual. Another good thing about pet sitters is that they often accept them at a relatively low price.

Do cats forget their owners?

How long do cats remember their owners? Generally, it is believed that you can remember for about 2 years. After 3 years or more, they may forget their owner. But this depends on the cat’s personality. Some cats become aloof even if they haven’t seen their owners for three days. Therefore, it is important how much the cat is interested in the owner. If you are just a person who gives you food, you may forget about it even if you don’t see him for three days.
