Hello
I'm a cat mom who is a shift worker... I do 12 hour shifts and its a weird cycle as sometimes they will be a day shift 7am to 7pm or night shift which is 7pm to 7am. I live on my own at present, plus my two fur babies. Just curious as to how many other kitty owners have shift work and how do your cats respond to it? I I am a casual so it means I don't have a set schedule at the moment. I know cats LOVE consistency but its super hard to get that in my work schedule at the moment. I was wondering how other people's cats get used to their owners being at home sometimes, and then other times not? On my days off I always try to play a lot with my cats and be around for them, but I always get anxious when I am leaving them for work, thinking are they gonna be okay?
Its my first time being a cat mom of two furbabies where I am in a situation where I am living alone and having to go to work while the cats are home. When I come home, one of them sometimes meows, but sometimes is indifferent... the other cat never seems fussed and doesn't make a big deal that I have been away... I just hate that my schedule isn't consistent but its kinda out of my hands at the moment..
Any thoughts?
Tina
