I'm single and want a pet - sadly not sure a dog is a good option with travel. Anyone single and have a cat? How is that working?

Cat is easier but still requires attention, and don't expect it to have the same loving reaction when you get home (known for peeing on suitcases).

I have two cats. And I live alone. I pay someone to come and hang out with them 30 minutes a day plus feed/clean litter. They do okay. They definitely HATE it when I'm gone for like 2 weeks if I alt travel.

2 dogs 1 cat here. When they are little they are fucking retarded. As simple as that. Dogs cats ponies here human babies - they are just infantile and stupid. So they will shit in your bed and piss everywhere. You must be ok with that.

I got two cats (so they wouldn't be alone when I'm gone) and have had them three years. They are the best!!! They do give me attitude when I pack and come home - but then are super cuddly and lovey. They're from the same litter and I got them at 11 weeks. PS: male cats are way more affectionate

Yes my male cat is waaaay more snugly than my female cat. But she's awesome in her own bitchy way.

Adopt a slightly older cat. 2-3 years old should be fairly easier to adjust for both parties.

I think it will be okay OP. Just keep in mind that you have to be really okay with them being alone that long and know that when you vacation it becomes a whole other issue. Also. Don't let your roomba go on it's own while you travel. Just saying.

Cats are fine on their own for 5 days and are super snuggle when you get home. I had only a cat for years and then got a dog and the cat is way more affectionate and lower maintenance. But I still love my pup!

No. You cannot leave a cat alone at home for 4 days - their life will be miserable and it would be unfair to inflict this on them

Hi team ,
