Not sure I've heard of buyer's remorse over a skitty cat :-)
We have a cat and a dog and TBH the dog has a far greater impact on our life than the cat does. She is extremely self sufficient and while we would never leave her for any longer, we will go away for a night and leave her enough food out to keep her going for that time. Sure, she misses us for company but she would rather be home in her own environment than go to a boarding place like the dog does. If we left the dog home for that long he would have chewed through every piece of reticulation, pulled out every plant, shredded the low branches of every tree etc.
I love watching my girls with the animals. DD2 especially can't go past either cat or dog without stopping to give them a cuddle and a pat, and I think what they learn by having pets far outweighs the small imposition they put on your lifestyle. Oh, and with cold winter nights coming there is no better foot warmer on the planet than a cuddly puddy.
I know this will be good for the girls too, which is one of the main reasons i wanted to get a pet (besides our budgie and fish).
I am such a worry wart, and i worry over everything! Lucy slept all night last night and we didn't hear a meow from her, I on the other hand tossed and turned and saw every hour.
I want to do what is best for her, and don't want to be leaving her or anything if they don't do well when left. But looks like it is okay to leave a cat for a night or two which is a big relief for me..... Phew
and a member of the family that will sleep most of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow what a shock to the system that will be hahahaha
okay so hear goes some more questions (sorry i think more will come)
Can we feed her just biscuits?
The RSPCA has said it is best for them and she is on some "top" pricey brand. but to me it seems a bit cruel to just be on boring old biscuits
but obviously happy to do so if that is what is best (and means less smelly poo's LOL)
