you can leave them alone overnight or over a weekend
In Sweden it is illegal to leave your cat for more than 24 hours though.
"In 2008, the Animal Welfare Act was tightened around supervision of cats, which means that it is a requirement to look after/visit the cat at least twice a day. It is the same rules that apply to both dogs and cats."
Not a problem for me though. Except for PJ tours I guess. Haha.
that's interesting...but I don't see how it would be necessary for cats, dogs I get for sure.
Swedish board of Agriculture:
Care of cats Cats should be visited at least twice a day. This is especially important
when they are trapped in apartment, other residence or in cat stalls. young,
sick or injured cats should be seen more often.
If you have a cat like that
to go outside you can give it food at regular times, at least
2 times a day. Then the cat learns the routine and comes home when
it is lunch time. Barn cats and stable cats must also be given sufficient supervision.
Cats are not herd animals in the same way as dogs but they have
nevertheless, a need for social interaction. By company of other cats,
Other animals or people allow you to make sure your cat gets the social
contact as it needs.

Is that just for outdoor cats? That I can understand. My cats have always been indoor. I'm not sure I could ever own an outdoor cat as I would be devastated if it came up missing.
I always wonder if strays that I've taken in over the years were just someone else's outdoor cat.

All cats. And it's preferred you have at least two.
Guinea pigs you have to have at least two, by law. It is illegal to just keep one, due to their wellbeings.
Will start looking for a cat after Brussels.
