It is two days with one night in between (drive over Saturday morning and then back Sunday evening). Very rarely one additional night, but I haven't been wanting to do that lately. I used to drive in on Friday nights. But I have stopped wanting to drive over at night so I just do it the next morning.

    Two days/one night is certainly doable. Two nights (so three days) - you ideally should have someone to come in between.

    Cats are great just remember they are not dogs. They don't have "owners", they have servants. They pretty much do what they want and when they want. They can also be very affectionate but that depends on a cat.

    Best of luck mate.

    Wait you wouldn't take your cat? After a week of you rarely being available you consider not being home at all for two days and a night?

    I would strongly recommend against that. I'm worried that this may cause behavioral issues with the cat getting bored, depressed, feeling caged...

    Possible consequences could be urinating outside the litterbox, willfully scratching your furniture/walls and more.

    I'm not sure if with your work and travel habits a pet would be a good choice. Maybe one that doesn't need social interaction?
