Hello! I'm due to be living on my own for the first time in a few weeks. I've always grown up in houses with dogs, but I find myself becoming more intrigued by cat videos on YouTube!
I now am scouring battersea and local shelters 10 times a day looking at these beautiful creatures but I have a few questions!
Firstly, am I a suitable candidate? I work from 6:45-3:30. daily, is this too long for a cat to be left alone?
What's the verdict on the indoor vs outdoor cat debate? I would prefer an indoor as I would worry about safety, but if his/she gets agitated I would happily let them explore (How does the cat know how to get home? Cross roads etc? )
I am happy to adopt an older cat but hear they can be rather set in their ways, if I happen to fall in love with a cat that has anger issues, would it be possibly to change that behaviour with patience and slow work?
I've done research on things such as flea and worm treatments, vaccines, common diseases etc aswell as insurance - I take pet ownership seriously. ð???
Thank you for reading!
