I travel quite frequently for several days at a time for my job. Biggest lifesaver for me (besides getting another cat to keep kitty#1 company) were these two things: Le Bistro & Cat It
Le Bistro comes in a few sizes. My friends have two small ones for their two cats, but I just got the one medium size that holds 10 lbs of food. My cat's eat 1/4 cup a day each so it lasts forever (I refill it once a month or so). The Cat it fountain comes in three sizes too... 2L, 3L and 10L. I only have the 3L and it lasts about 5-6 days without refilling.
It saves me in a pinch so that if I have to leave on short notice and no one can watch my kitties, I leave them with a clean litter box, a full feeder with new batteries and a full fountain of water. That way, if no one can drop by for 2-3 days or so, I know they'll be okay.
We also have a Le Bistro cat feeder (like ninguem), but a model with programmable feeding times: http://www.amazon.com/Petmate-LeBistro-Portion-Control-Automatic-Feeder/dp/B000BVWVUA. My cat does overfeed, so the timer is very important.
He was frightened by the noise the machine made for the first couple days (thought not frightened enough to stop eating), then started worshiping it. He now knows exactly when feeding time will be and moves to sit in front of the machine 5 minutes early, staring fixedly at it as though willing it to perform.
