TITLE: Hey Reddit, I'm thinking about adopting a cat and need some advice first.
POST: Background information: My fiance's dad has become really sick and can no longer take care of their cat. Unfortunately her roommate is allergic to cats, and so is everyone in my family, therefore I am the only option left for this cat. I rent an apartment closer to my school but usually leave Friday afternoon and don't come back till Sunday evening. Is it okay for me to leave enough food and water out for those two days or will this be harmful to the cat? I will be at the apartment for the other 5 days of the week, but just won't be there for 48 hours. Should I get two water and food bowls for the weekend?
TL;DR: 
Adopting a cat, is it okay for me to leave enough food and water out for two days or will this be harmful to the cat?
