Hello
This is my first post so if this topic has been covered elsewhere, my apologies.
I'm seriously thinking of reentering the cat ownership world again, after losing my previous little mate 11 years ago. The only hesitation I have is the fact that I'm a shift worker that does rotating day and night shifts ( 6 till 6) that means that the little critters (I hope to get 2 kittens) would be on their own for 12 hours. They could keep each other company of course but I understand that kittens should be fed small meals every 2 to 3 hours, that would be impossible for me to do. I know there are automatic feeders available but from the reviews I've read they don't work that well.
Just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and how they managed or didn't.
I couldn't bear the though of them crying in hunger so I'm prepared to go catless if that is the only alternative.
Look forward to any assistance.
Cheers
Ban
