Absolutely NOT!!! It sounds like they don't need/want a lot of human interaction, so it sounds to me like an ideal situation for them. What would the alternative be, to be stuck in a cage somewhere?
I went to PetSmart and tortured myself again yesterday. Don't know if you remember Lucky, but he has been in foster care for years now, and in a cage at PetSmart for months and months and months and months. I don't even remember when I first saw him there....and he's still there! Nobody is going to adopt him because he looks awful because of his bad allergies - he has goopy eyes, his fur is not nice a sleek, he has a big bare spot on his neck, probably from the allergies, and he just looks rather rough....not to mention the fact that he's 8 years old....but he is a TOTAL lovebug! If it came to living at your house, on the third floor, with only twice a day human contact, or living in this cage at PetSmart, I would opt for your house any day!
Oh, and there are also the 2(?) year old adorable gray and white brothers who I first saw as 6-8 month old kittens in the cage....and who haven't been out of the cage since and they're now over 2 years old. Jen's third floor is looking pretty great if you ask me!
Jen....do you think there's room on your third floor for an allergic 8 year old and two adorable but shy brothers?
