Long story shortened here: Me and the spouse (Bella Goth) spent the weekend out of town. We left behind at home our kitty, White Cat (yes that is her real name)

It's a link for now - the image size is causing a page blow out - Spot
Anyway we were gone thursday night, came home today, sunday morning. I left for her TWO bowls of food, cat bowl size, but overfilled them. Also two cat bowl sized bowls of water. When we came home today, both are completly empty and White Cat is acting like we didn't leave ANY food for her. The place was locked up so no homeless people came in for a free meal, and the kids went with us. Is this normal for cats, or is she mental (the cat) Just wondering!! |

Awww cats can be very mad and vindictive when you dare to leave them alone I once went on a long weekend with my ex-BF and his cat waited until we came home to expressedly pee on the sofa |

Cats are predators, so they can eat lots at a time and do without food for a few weeks when needed.
BUT they don't like it and will find a way to explain that to you
I only care for their water (winter freezing, out side cats) and they can catch their own food.
I have a reservoir that will hold an upside down 2 liter pop bottle filled with water, keeps them happy for a week or longer.
And they get leftovers, that's something the dog doesn't understand.

What Elizabeth said - cats don't approve of their servants going on holiday without permission. Nothing that a bit of extra petting couldn't fix. |

@ Bart Fargo
Cat threads are popular, and the chances are that this one will go down to at least the bottom of page one.
Please repost your cat picture to stop the page blow out.

When posting a picture please ensure that it is no more than 600 pixels wide, so as to prevent thread 'blowout' for people with lower resolution monitors. If you can't reduce its size, or you need it to retain its original dimensions, then just post a link to the picture instead. |

@Fargo
Completely normal. I left my 3 cats and a friend's cat alone for a long week end with brand new dishpan full of 10lbs of food and another full of water with dozens of ice cubes but they all still acted like we had starved them. The 10lbs is more food then they would have eaten in a week but somehow they still managed to eat it all in 4 days and cry for more. |

Bart, we kitties like to have people on hand to attend to our whims. If you cannot be there to perform your slave duties, your kittie would much rather you roped in a friend/relative to cover for you, than simply try to do a weekends work in a day. Then they have someone to feel superior to while bravely forcing down that day's 'offerings'. |

^ I'd have to disagree. We're given the cold shoulder for at least two days every time we get back from holidays, even when he gets spoiled enormously by our neighbors, they adore him. Come to think: maybe he doesn't even want us to come back. |

You hit the nail on the head. We have two cats who carp and yell for a solid day when we return after leaving them for a few days. According to some animal behaviorists, cats believe we are gone forever when we leave and we have abandoned the territory to them. When we return we reclaim the territory, and that sets them off. |

^ That's a nice insight into cat psychology, ls77. To date I thought it was a cat with an attitude, as our previous cats adapted to the 'changed setting' pretty quickly. |

@Dutch - I never said getting cover in would save you from the cold shoulder. Kittie still thinks he was 'abandoned' to fend for himself, even with a friend/neighbour popping in.
In such cases it is mandatory for the kittie to snub you for a time proportional to your absence, or until he gets hungry, which always takes precedence. (Kittie rulebook, ch 3, p52 'Disciplining inattentive lackeys'.)
It's a temporary blip, they always come round in the end. |

Cougar, just tell me when and where. I love to be hands on...
Oh and @ OP Bart. The larger model of cat often eats several days of food at one time because when hunting in the wild food isn't regularly delivered. Lions will eat 3 or 4 days wort of food when they have it because it cannot be guaranteed to be there. Maybe your cat is reverting... |

My set of flathead screwdrivers in my toolbox have more of a hunting instinct than my cat. She's been around a parrot, guinea pigs and hamsters, doesn't even bat an eye at them. It's because these critters move, vs. cat food which sits in a bowl. |
