How long can you leave a kitten home alone: prolonged loneliness is contraindicated

21.03.2023 14:50

If you have decided that your family needs a new addition in the form of a tiny meowing lump, you should evaluate in advance whether you can provide the animal with everything it needs, including your time.

The thing is that kittens under 4 months old should not be left alone for more than 4 hours. And even when they grow up, kittens still need careful supervision.

There are several reasons why babies cannot be left alone at home for a long time, and the first of them is the need for frequent feeding.

Until your pet is 6 months old, you should feed him 3-4 times a day.

Another compelling reason is the curiosity that is inherent in felines, as well as their vulnerability due to their small size.

And the most banal thing is that a kitten may get bored without its owner.

However, this does not mean that you should give up on the idea of having a pet.

A solution would be a pet sitter, help from friends or relatives, or visits home during lunch breaks.
