The longest I've left my cat by itself, was 5 days. I put out 2 litter boxes, lots of water, and lots of food. Just in case, I left the food bag within easy reach, and left the toilet seat up for emergency water.
I never leave my cat unattended for more than two days, but I'm lucky to have a coworker who also needs someone to check up on their cats every now and then, so we trade off.
That said, after four days of no human contact, my cat is RIDICULOUSLY clingy.
