Hello my roomate moved out with his cat. Since then my cat has been crying and stratching at the new room mates door. How can i stop her from doing this? Before covid 19 i use to go away most weekends, after the pandemic is over and i can go out again how can i make sure my cat doesnt get anxious badly since she no longer has a mate.

I recommend you put some Feliway diffusers in your house and do some environmental enrichment for her. Usually these two things help. https://www.feliway.com/us/Products/FELIWAY-CLASSIC-Diffuser thedrakecenter.com/materials/environmental-enrichment-indoor-cats  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AejmrLa_Cs4
