Cats may be independent, but they still crave love, attention, and routine. Leaving them alone for extended periods can lead to stress, boredom, and behavioral changes. While automatic feeders and litter boxes help with the basics, they don’t replace human interaction. That’s where professional cat sitting becomes essential.
