Temporary Absence of Primary Caretaker

Keep the cat at home if possible. Have other family members spend more time interacting with the cat. Establishing a refuge will be helpful to give the cat a safe, familiar place to go while you are gone. A piece of clothing or a blanket with your scent on it will help calm the cat and make her feel that you are nearby. Leave a radio or TV playing near the refuge to provide calming" white noise".
