How long can a cat go without food or water ?

First it would depends on the cat. If it is a cat that has been locked in an apartment all its life... it would not survive very long on the street. A cat will always find water somewhere by natural instinct if it is an outdoor cat. It will also find food... but perhaps not as much as it is used to... and will get skinny. If it is lost... it will also become a prey for other cats defending their territory. That is the real danger... as it will get hurt and will get sick... preventing it to look for food and water. However... it very much depends where the cat is... it will stand a chance in the suburbs or the country side... but not in the concrete jungle. The most cruel thing you can do is to abandon your cat. If you can afford to go on holiday... you should be able to afford the cost of a kennel. Your cat would easily survive one week if you left it a large bowl of water and one kilo of dry biscuits.

How long can a cat go without food or water?A cat can survive without food much longer than humans can. He can lose as much as 40 percent of his body weight and survive. Water, though, is entirely a different matter. A 10 to 14 percent loss of the total water in a cat's body is fatal. source: http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/whydo2.html

I don't know. I feed my 2 cats food and water everyday. Why do you ask?

i really don't know but i won't let my cats suffer that...

Hi, friend. Once I've read (it was a cross-words magazine of my country indeed... but it is a very serious periodical and I'm sure I remember exactly) that a cat can survive without food for 7 days. I think it's possible since as predators they have to be very versatile... I don't know about water. Although, I can tell you that if my mother-in-law forgets to give some water to her kitty, she jumps on the closet and tries to drink from the water or the sink.

Its impossible for cat or any other living thing to go on without food or water. One astonishing information. Human beings can live without food for seven days but can't live without sleeping.

Um why?

Without water? I guess a couple of days like humans, although probably depends on the type of cat you have.
