Is it safe to leave my cat alone for a weekend? Hot weather concerns?

Question

Hello. Am I able to leave our 5yo healthy indoor female cat home alone from Friday through Sunday? Obviously leaving ample food, water, toys, clean litter ect. Also if doing so would it be better to leave the windows closed or open due to the predicted upcoming hot weather. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 years and 10 months old | 5 lbs

I would recommend having a friend or neigbor come to check on her daily to be safe. We never know what can happen if they are gone, they can knock their water over, get themselves locked in a closet (I have seen this multiple times), etc. so it is best to have someone at least check on her during that time period. As far as weather goes, I do not know your climate. If you do leave windows open be sure they have secure screens so she cannot get out and wild animals cannot get in.
