It sounds as though your cat is acting out after being left at the house alone. It is not uncommon for cats to become stressed when anything in their environment changes, such as a departure from the normal routine with their human. I would recommend trying some Feliaway diffusers in your house to see if that can help relieve some of your cat’s anxiety. If her anxiety is very severe, you may want to talk to your veterinarian about anti-anxiety medication for her long-term or just while you were out of town. I hope this helps.
