    Working and leaving new kitten home alone.

    Yeah I think he's gonna be ok. I'm hoping after a while he can get used to my dog. He's about 12 now so won't be a playmate but could still provide the company he might need. I won't be leaving them alone until I know they have a good relationship though. He will be staying at our dog sitters...

    Working and leaving new kitten home alone.

    Thanks everyone for all your great advice. It seems having 1 kitten is going to be fine and perhaps once he's settled, if he does seem lonely, a few months down the line I can look at adopting another one at around the same age. But he'll be getting plenty of attention so I think he will be OK...

    Working and leaving new kitten home alone.

    Thanks for the welcome. That's good news. I feel a lot better about him being alone now. I think with the neighbor and my uncle popping in whenever we both are out all day, I feel like he'll be fine. I still haven't decided on a room for him yet. We've got 2 bedrooms that are both in use...

    Thanks for your reply, we have arranged a next door neighbor and my uncle to come and visit him in those circumstances. I guess if they came in the middle of the day for an hour or so that would ample until one of us got home. I was thinking about cameras as well but I may just wait and see how...

    Working and leaving new kitten home alone.

    I'd love two, but Im not really sure if it's a viable option. I'm buying a pedigree so definitely couldn't afford another kitten from that litter. To be honest, I've never heard of rules against adopting only one kitten. None of the breeders I've been speaking to have mentioned it. They are all...

    Working and leaving new kitten home alone.

    Thanks very much for your response. Definitely put my mind at ease. I'll be spending plenty of time with him when I'm home so hopefully should make up for me being out during the day. And as you mentioned, they sleep something like 16 hours a day at that age. Thanks again, and don't worry, I'll...

    Working and leaving new kitten home alone.

    Hi, I'm getting a kitten in a couple of weeks. He will be 13 weeks old by the time I get him and I'm just wondering what I should be arranging in terms of care for when me and my housemate are working. I work half 7 to half 4 and she works a couple of different shifts but I'm hoping she can do...
