Does a Boarded Cat Feel Abandoned?
Cats don't grasp the abstract idea of being 'abandoned,' but they do form a secure attachment through daily life with you.

With no other signs, give plenty of water and soft food to ease throat irritation, keep the cat undisturbed to rest, and away from smoke, chemical odors, and dust that aggravate the throat. Most cases are temporary and improve with rest and humidity.
