Hello, I'm veterinarian Meow-Chul. If the cat litter box is well-equipped and there are no environmental issues, a cat can often manage just fine alone for about a day without its owner. However, there are some cases where even a single night is not acceptable. First are cats under six months. Kittens, especially under 2-3 months, can't regulate their body temperature or blood sugar well. Long gaps between meals can cause dehydration or hypoglycemia. They truly need protection. Most pet owners wouldn't even consider leaving a cat this young home alone overnight, but we also need to pay close attention to adolescent cat teenagers.

こんにちは、獣医師のミョウチョルです。猫用トイレがしっかり設置されていて、特に環境問題がなければ、猫は1日くらいなら飼い主がいなくても大抵は平気です。 しかし、たった一晩でも留守番をさせてはいけないケースがいくつかあります。 まず生後6ヶ月未満の猫、特に2-3ヶ月未満の子猫は体温や血糖の調整が苦手です。 食事の間隔が空くと脱水、低血糖の恐れがあります。 本当に保護が必要な時期なんです。こんなに小さい子を一晩留守番させようと思う飼い主さんはまずいないでしょうが、思春期の猫にも注意が必要です。
