Keeping Cat In One Room While At Work

As independent as they are cats still crave attention and interaction.

Keeping cat in one room while at work.

But if its always going to be in the room while your gone i don t think thats ok however if its for a short time i don t see the harm. Kittens in particular shouldn t be left for days at a time as the thought alone of them sitting in their crate or room crying is enough to melt even the toughest heart. If you asked a hundred knowledgeable animal and cat loving people whether it is cruel to keep a cat in one standard room i would expect at least 90 of them to say that it is cruel. But thanks to remote interactive tools like petcube pet cameras you can check in on them anytime.

Although cats are fairly self sufficient even a full grown feline can t be expected to take care of himself for long periods. The other main issue is that my mom tends to take. Seven hours a day in a large room that has a bed a bathroom a window and lots of cat toys sounds pretty good to me and i d bet your cat agrees. I have to leave my kitten in my room while im out at college for a few hours twice a week.

Keeping my cats in a room while i am at work. This could be a lot less traumatizing for your cat as it s already their usual haunt just make absolutely sure that the pen is secure. But i live at my boyfriends house and plan to move out soon so we don t have to keep our kitten in the room anymore. My cat is free to roam all over my average size one bedroom apartment and seems to spend about 15 hours a day in one specific spot in the living room right by the front door.

And that didn t stop even after getting them neutered. Caging was the only solution to keep them safe and give us some peace of mind while we were away at work. I also don t want my cats to end up lazy from boredom and crap either. Cats are known for being independent but you still feel guilty leaving them alone during the day while you re at work.

Keep in mind that a cat room doesn t necessarily have to be a cat room and could simply be a well secured play pen in the main room where they already hang out. Now we have a cat being fostered and not tested for any illnesses yet. It worked out really well since we didn t have a spare room to separate cats before reintroducing. It does however depend upon the environment created and the size of the room.
