Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year old
I have 3 one year old cats at home. I have left them alone for max 12hrs a day. Can i leave them for like 24-30hrs if proper food, water and litter is kept? I'm planning for an outing with friends nearby and my babies love to stay at home only, so for a single day I don't want to change their routine by leaving them with someone or at a cat hostel. Please suggest.

Many people do leave cats unattended with plenty of food, water and a clean litter box. Most cats will do fine if it is only for 24 hours. You may also ask a friend to stop by and check on them. Make sure the house is cat proofed so they can't get into anything. Do realize there is some risk if there is something for them to get into that they shouldn't. I hope this helps.
