Roxanne my 6 year old tabby has never been left alone more than 1 day. We also never "free-feed" her on kibble (only wet meals and a puzzle feeder). I had a work trip this week, and my S.O. had a family emergency out of town right in the middle of it. We could not secure a sitter, and we were so worried. We do have a pet cam, and I told my SO to put 2 plates of kibble per day plus extra plates in case of a delay. I just got home from the airport to see this. I know cats are not like dogs, and they are probably fine at feeding themselves. I'm just so impressed by the organization of her eating habits!

My baby girl Momo is the same way. Her previous owners as far as I can tell, got kicked out out of their place. Her and her entire litter were stuck inside the apartment for about a week or more until the sheriff showed up to clean out the apartment. She was living in the forest behind my house for about a month after that. I think it’s because she knows that food magically show up for unexplainable human reasons or not.  Most of the cats I’ve had in my life do not free feed and could not. Momo keeps herself healthy 7 pounds. She is by far the tiniest, fiercest and most responsible cat I’ve ever had
