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 mostly evening shifts for a while so he would only be alone for a couple of hours some days. She doesn't work full time. She would be around in the day and me in the evening. Weekends I'm at home.
What kind of periods of time are acceptable for leaving a kitten that age and how often would I need someone to come and keep him company for a while, if we were gone all day?
Also, will I be able to form a good bond with my kitten if I'm working 7.30 - 4.30, 5 days a week? I'm worried that he will grow up to not be particularly bothered about me.
Sorry for the essay, and thanks for reading.
Kind regards,
