 I know, I know, I am just being silly. And of course unless I got a phone call from a neighbour saying the front door had been broken down from the inside and two large cats were running around the building there'd be no reason for me to think they weren't ok and therefore I could just leave them be.Like I said, we've been out from 1pm - 2am before so they have had experience of a being alone for a wee while without us, and I'm sure they'll be fine! They're not destructive at all *touch wood* when it comes to carpets, furniture etc. apart from toward each other! I can tell if they've been play-fighting as there's large balls of cat-hair / fluff floating around the wooden floors  |

meep - please do not worry about this. I have left various cats overnight in the past. Just left extra litter trays, plenty water and a supply of dried fod. Borrowed a timed feeder for the wet food but that was probably a bit overkill. ( I left one cat from 11am on the Saturday until 9pm on the Sunday, for a family wedding in Wales, But please don't tell anybody. Apart from being in a huff he still had food left and was absolutely fine.) Go and enjoy your time together. The boys will be ok. CM |

Thanks CM, that's really reassuring  I can imagine my two will be in a huff too but they'll get over it I know when I was a kid, and we went on 5-day family holidays we used to leave our cats in the house (they had constant outdoor access to a very remote country-side with no roads or cars), and we had someone pop in to feed them once a day (put the food through the cat flap). They were always fine, a little confused when they saw us, as if to say "we were enjoying the house to ourselves!" But I've never left indoor-only cats alone which is why I was wondering. |

Actually I've never done that. Rarely I've been out and not home till 2 - 3 am, cats were fine. All the above advice sounds very reasonable to me; go and enjoy the "us time"! |
