Shes old enough to be left home alone. I started being left home alone when I was 10. But neighbours (our friends parents) always knew when we were left home alone for a few hours.

When my folks split up mom hired a babysitter that lived 4 blocks away, as mom didn't get home until 11pm. Her only job was to cook us dinner & to know where we were. Other then that, I never had to see the babysitter as I was 13yrs old. Mind you I did go there almost all the time as she had a lot of cool movies, cool tv, a cool dog (I was one of the very very few people that dog liked, she would sleep on her back on my lap for hours while I petted her chest & belly) & she taught me how to cook...



But as everyone saw kittykathleen was able to take care of herself. Even though she was scared, she did everything right

Remember, stuff like that can happen to anyone of any age. It was several months ago I had a scare & I'm turning 25yrs old(tomorrow). Luckly I had Bear (160lb Rottweiler) & Buddy(about 120lb+ Cane Corrso) with me. 2 black men came up to me in the parking lot & I found that really scary, as I was living in a ghetto & black men are the #1 gang members in that neighbourhood (I'm not racist, its just fact for that Toronto ghetto). Turns out Buddy was racist & he started to snarl at the men, which kept them away as Buddy had cropped ears & looked like a GIANT pit bull (which he is not, hes a mastiff)... turns out the men were only interested in knowing what Buddy was, as they had never seen that kind of dog before. But it was still scary, as I knew one of them was a big time drug dealer (a couple months ago he was arrested for dealing coke & they searched his house too)...

So it really doesn't matter how old you are, it all depends on how you handle the situation & I think kittykathleen did a fab. job, & hopefully she'll feel comfy to stay home alone again soon.
