I was on a trip abroad for four weeks. I left a ground floor window
open (I live in a very low crime area), plenty of dry food, several
pots full of water on the floor. I dont have a litter box. I was a
little worried, but I found all my 3 cats in perfect health upon my
return. They were not even at home when I got back. Try doing that with
a dog! Try doing that with indoor cats!

Try realizing that you have posted enough about yourself that it would be
very, very easy to figure out where you live. Within ten seconds I knew you
were in the Indianapolis area. You tend to announce your trips, too. You
might want to close the window next time. lol
Your cats would do better at a shelter than there with you. Freak.

Asshole. I would like to take them away from you.

I am shocked to hear you say this. I cannot imagine leaving mine home alone
for a month. What if they had become ill, what if one had been in a
collision with the almost no traffic that I have here?
I have left mine once, overnight in an emergency. They were shut in with a
litterbox/ food/water and were safe.
My cats are outdoor/indoor. I check on them, I expect them in for their
breakfast and in for their dinner every day, if they are late I go looking
for them. They are often late because they are looking at mouse holes/rat
holes and forget the time. My cats don't mind how long they stay there if
there is a chance of catching a mousie or a rattie (smallish one..)
Leave them home alone for a month? No way at all. If I needed to go away
for a month I would board mine in a cattery,

I'm thinking this post was probably bait to start words flinging
around. But in any case, I agree; I wouldn't even leave my barn cats
alone for a month without someone to come in and feed.

Did you mean my post?

Yes, I meant I agree with your post re: NOT leaving them alone for a
month, not even indoor/outdoor cats. The first remark wasn't directed
at anyone in particular; sorry, I was rambling. I just meant that I
think the post was made specifically to raise the dander of the group.
And it did :-)

You guys have mentioned all by my major fear of leaving pets alone home
(even for only a few hours):
house fires!
There are more this time of year than any, what with dry trees in the house,
space heaters in use overlaoding circuits, and candles burning!

It would worry me, too, but my cats can get outside 24/7 if they need to.
How about making an outdoor pen with the way out to it from a window that
you only open when you go out, or overnight?

Why would anyone who loves his/her cats (or dogs) WANT to?
Poor kitties, they must have thought their person had
abandoned them!
