Need some advice (Cat)

[KikiDeAnime]

Some of you might know that I just got hired by Dollar Tree. The manager said at most I'd get 15 hours in each week. I start my first day on 5/30.
My cat Nyx has separation anxiety and even with me an hour away from the house makes her go insane looking for me while crying out. I've had her since her mother gave birth to her underneath my bed after she was brought inside.
I just recently bought a gravity feeder so that I don't have to worry about her not getting fed.

I'm looking for advice or tips for keeping her busy while I'm at work during the day. There's only a couple catnip toys that interest her and I have them so I don't need toy suggestions. I do plan on leaving a pile of my dirty clothes for her since she likes my scent on them.
Anything else I could do??

Can you get one of those treat dispenser things? I've seen them on amazon, its a video camera were you can dispense a treat and talk to the cat through the camera. It connects to your phone, so you can check on her anytime and talk to her through the camera.

Unfortunately Nyx doesn't like any kind of treats

You could at least use it to watch her and talk to her through.

Set up a facetime call with your phone to a screen at her cat level?

Darn, alright then none of that will work.
Hmm, I don't know. Sounds like you need to get employed at PetSmart lol! Then you could just bring her with you.

my advice is let her deal with it. She'll get over it eventually.

She hates other people and other pets. There's been many incidents where she's attacked our dogs and the other cats.

How about turning on a long video on YouTube that's just bird watching? Usually it's titled bird watching for cats or something like that. You can find ones that are hours long. My cats love to watch it. Maybe it'll distract her for a little while
