HELP! I don't know what to do!

[Virtuallcat]

My cat is a domestic short hair. I recently went on a trip. We left Thursday night and have just gotten home mid day Sunday. When I got home I had painfully realized my cat had been locked in a room with no food or water since we had left late Thursday night. I instantly got her and brought her to her food and water where she was purring immensely she instantly started to nibble at her food and drink some water. I haven't left her side and have been giving her some Mads amounts of attention while petting her I noticed she was shedding. She has repeatedly gotten food and used her litter box as well as gotten water since then I but I'm scared I might be to late and fear the worst I feel horrible and have been crying and apologizing and giving her mass amount of love I just need advice on what to do

She may need to see a vet, if a cat doesn't eat for 24 hours they can go into fatty liver.

Hi
Take a breath; she's eating and drinking, and is using the litterbox. This is all normal. Cats often shed from stress.

Why are you concerned that you were too late? Are you seeing something else that indicates you should take her to the vet?

She probably needs fluids too. The shedding could be dehydration.

Next time you go away please have someone check on her at least once a day so something like this doesn't happen again. Also they can make sure her supplies haven't run out and give her much needed attention.

I agree with Furballsmom . Are you seeing other issues to be concerned about? Watch over her and see how things go over the next 24 hours. And please do keep us posted.
