I have two of the sweetest kittens in the world- they're 8ish months and I've had them for 3 months. Since I got them, I've been working from home and spending as much time with them as I can (which is quite a bit!). They don't care for strangers but otherwise they're as happy as two cats can be.
Problem is that I got a new job where I'll have to (gasp) go into an office for 8 hours/day and make periodic international trips (I'm budgeting about 4x per year for 1 week< at a time). I'm concerned about how they'll do in an apartment for that length of time considering they're used to being doted on 24/7. They have plenty of toys and I've got a gamut of ways to entertain indoor cats when I'm out of the house. Even more so, what about when I travel? For two shy kittens, would it be better to have someone come stay at the house with them when I'm gone? Or drop in and feed them/clean the litter/throw out new toys and leave the cats to entertain each other?
