Gone overnight for the first time.

I have to be gone overnight for the first time since i got my cat tomorrow.

Considering he has adjusted to living with me without any troubles at all (I think he is used to being an only cat, and didn't have a problem with the transition) I wouldnt think that he would be too stressed, but what can I do to make this easier?

Leaving out adequate food and water are at the top of the list, that's for sure :-D

I basically just want some reassurance than he can be left alone overnight, and he will be okay.

I would think that your kitty will be ok overnight. Scince you already know food and water are an important thing, I would only suggest lots and lots of love before you leave. Cats sometimes (I think) can know what's going on, and they feel the anger/harmony/surprised/anxious/etc...feelings comming off of you. Just love your kitty, and tell them what's going on, and that you'll have special love and treats for when you get back.

I would also buy a toy, and spray it with some catnip spray before you leave. A brand new toy, or blanket.

Good luck

I forgot to say, It will be ok. Dont worry about your kitty while away. Maybe leave a radio or TV quietly on...if you are that worried. But really, I think everything will be just fine.

I agree, leave a TV on if you can and adequete lighting. Clean the litter before you leave and everything should be fine and dandy!

Thanks for the support

I don't know why I'm so nervous about it. There isn't much that could happen to him.

He is my babycat though. I hope he isn't toooo annoyed with me tomorrow!

I've left them alone with extra food/water from Friday nite to Sunday nite - when you show cats - not everyone goes, so if you are staying overnite at shows, the ones at home are ok.

I'd also leave one of my dirty, smelly t-shirts or nightie for him!

He survived

He sure was happy to see me, but didn't get into any trouble while I was gone. Still no improvement in his stomach issues though, so that looks like a new fun activity for this weekend.
