Jen, I know you groom animals so you have a job. How do you manage to have time for all your cats at home? I ask because I have 4 cats and some days, after work, I'm too exhausted to play with mine although I do manage to find time on those days to spend a bit of time with each one, talking, listening and petting.
I have no life?

Seriously, some days it is hard. But cats are not as demanding of our time as dogs would be. I try to make sure they each get what they need 1) first thing in the morning, 2) right when I get home from work and 3) sometime in the evening or before bed.
Now, what I mean by "get what they need" is some cats WANT more than others. Some examples:
- Must play chase Lucas aroung right before bed time. He loves that
- I take the time to pet Willow late in the evening. It is the only time he isn't hiding under something or running away from you
- Fern will yell for her pets from the top of the refridge right before breakfast and then again from the kitchen window sill right after dinner. And when Fern wants you to pet her ...you PET HER !!!!

Oh well, enough about me.
