Cats can stay at home for a week, provided that the owner prepares sufficient water, food, and cat litter, and closes the doors and windows to prevent the cat from escaping. If the cat owner is unable to take good care of the cat, he or she can foster the cat to a friend's home or to a specialized pet agency. It is best not to leave the cat alone at home to avoid accidents.

Preparations for letting the cat stay at home:

1. Prepare enough water, food, and cat litter. It is best to prepare several basins of water to prevent cats from accidentally knocking over the basins. Prepare several litter boxes because cats will not want to go to the toilet when they see the litter boxes are dirty.

2. Installing a camera at home will help you keep an eye on your cat at any time.

3. Ask acquaintances to come and check on the cat every few days.
