As the weather improves and we get closer to summer, what could be better than planning mini getaways to the countryside or the sea? However, if you have a cat, it should be your first priority to ensure that it won't miss anything during your absence.

Let's take a detailed look at everything you will need.

How Many Days Can You Leave Your Cat Alone?

Usually, cats are quite independent and can stay alone for a few days as long as they have access to water, food, and a litter box. Therefore, you should ensure that they have an adequate supply of food and water during your absence.

If your cat is an adult and healthy, it can live up to 48 hours alone, and you don't need to worry while you're away. However, if you plan to be away for more days, you should consider the alternative of care from a friend, relative, or professional.

What will your cat need during your absence?

The Skroutz team is here to suggest all the necessary accessories that will make her life easier while you enjoy your mini vacation!

The two most essential products that should be in your space are the automatic feeder and of course the automatic waterer, for her food and water respectively.

Automatic Feeders

The automatic electronic cat feeder Pet Interest Robert with a stainless steel bowl has a capacity of 3.5 liters and can feed up to 4 meals/day. It features a feeding schedule memory, so in case of a power outage, it won't need to be reset, and it provides the ability to record a voice message.

On the side, there is a clock, where you can set the amount of food and the frequency of meals. This clock locks to prevent settings from being changed accidentally, for example, if your pet touches it.

The package includes a stainless steel tray that does not cause allergies and is recommended for dogs and cats with sensitivity to plastic material.

If you are looking for an automatic feeder with a larger food capacity, then the  Pet Feeder 4.5L will fully meet your needs. It has the ability to program 4 meals, an anti-slip base to prevent movement, and the ability to record a voice message.

Automatic Water Dispensers

The electric fountain Pet Water Flower has a capacity of 2 liters, a silent pump, and running water that encourages your pet to drink more water. We like it because it has built-in LED lighting for the night and is veterinarian approved.

The smart fountain Petoneer Fresco Ultra also features a 2-liter capacity and a 3-stage filtration system and water sterilization with UV ultraviolet radiation. One of its standout advantages is the ability to connect with a smartphone.

Cat Toilet

The Petwant Intelligent toilet cleans the waste in 30 seconds, neutralizes odors, and easily connects to your phone. It is for... pampered cats and has a unique, futuristic design. 

It is absolutely safe for your cat and operates quietly. It is the perfect choice for when you are away from home, as its reservoir has a capacity of 3 liters and therefore does not need to be emptied every day.

Cat Toys and Scratching Posts

Last but not least, are her toys. Place several toys in various parts of your home to keep her from getting bored while you're away! Choose between tunnels, mice or some balls. Also, a scratching post will keep her busy while also taking care of her nails.

IP camera with built-in microphone

If you want to monitor your pet at any time, you can get a tabletop IP camera. This way, you will always have both image and sound from your apartment, just with the press of a button!

Skroutz tip!

It is important that the shutters and curtains remain open so that your cat has more stimuli during your absence. Of course, we understand that this is not always feasible, but try to ensure at least one window with light for her.

So make the necessary purchases to have everything in order, pack your bags and... happy excursions!
