Hi folks
Looking for some advice from the cat owners amongst you here. My fiancee and I are currently looking at getting a kitten but have had a mass mix of advice from actual cat establishments themselves, which has slightly bamboozled us. We were looking for a kitten, about 3 to 6 months, but are both out the house for about 8 hours a day at work. Most places have said this would be too long to leave the kitten on its own but having two may be a better option as it would be company. Other places have said that it is too long for even 2 kittens to be left unattended. When I ask what sort of age cats could be left alone for 8 hours the answers have ranged from 1 to 4 years old.
I was just wondering if anyone here would be able to advise as to how old their cat/s were when they got them and how long they were left unattended for?
TIA
