[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, we definitely started leaving our cat home alone starting at around 6 months. Like yours, he'd mellowed out by then, was eating a normal amount of food, and did a lot of sleeping. We definitely made sure to hire a good cat sitter who would play with him a bit, and left plenty of toys and scratching posts around. But he was fine. It's the best thing about cats -- they are so much easier to leave when you go out of town. The only time he's gotten particularly mad at us was longer trips (like 2 week foreign trips) and even then he gets over it in a day or two.

TBH, it's the older cats that are harder to deal with. Once they hit 10 they are super set in their ways and can be hostile towards sitters and will punish you more for leaving them alone. But young cats are pretty adaptable. He'll find a bird to watch outside and that will entertain him for days.[/quote]

That's odd. Our older cats are way more relaxed with sitters vs the younger velcro cats.

OP, leave your kitten home with some food puzzles and the pet sitter. [/quote]
