If it were me, I wouldn't worry. Perhaps the cats that have influenced my opinions have been exceptional, but I personally doubt that a cat with food and water and shelter is unhappy. Even if he/she isn't getting much human contact.

We have a cat nearby that we call the windowsill cat. She is nearly always sat on the same windowsill on our road, whatever time you go past, even 1am! Always seems happy, and fed and clean so presumably has somewhere to go.
However pretty sure it is not the house that she sits at, and has just decided, for whatever reason that that is her spot. She's slowly started to interact with us, but generally seems quite happy/aloof without human interaction

I am past that, they are still not back by the way... I wonder if I took their keys in time before they went off for Christmas, would they still be away for so long and just keep asking me to extend my goodwill?
I might or might not have mentioned this before, but stalker cat should never have been rehomed to a normal home, his entire litter mates have all gone to a farm as they are semi feral, but for some reasons, he slipped off the net and ended up here... 🤷🏻♀️
So the less human interaction he has, the more of his feral characters will come out as he is not even 2 years old yet...
So in a long run, I am more worried about what Patch and I have to put up with...
That said, I have a stick in the garden for, well, essentially checking if any shit is hidden behind some brushes etc... I have managed to train stalker cat to be afraid of this stick! Whenever I point it at his general direction, he runs off... really hate doing this, but works much better than a water gun...

Yes they have a cat flap now and when they left on Christmas Eve, they left enough food for a couple of days as they were meant to be back on 26th... I then fed him on 26th and 27th because they told me since I am feeding him, they are extending their away time...
As of now still nobody, except I heard some brief human footsteps in and out at some point today and yesterday...
