Tips for leaving cats alone for the weekend?

In agreement with ilovedcollege, leave the cats 2 litter boxes. Make sure they have freshly replaced litter, in clean pans, just before your departure. I would also suggest leaving water and dry food in two bowls each, if you have room. My cat won’t drink her water or eat food if it has hair in it. The problem I’m having lately is my cat is 13 years old and prefers softer, canned food because it’s easier for her to eat. Unfortunately, canned food doesn’t do well sitting out for longer periods. My cat seems to prefer being left alone as opposed to having a neighborhood family watch her. We just returned after being gone for 4 days. After the first day, my cat wouldn’t even come out from her hiding places and would quietly “hiss” at her caregivers if they tried to pet her.
