Amberlee, you're so cute! I do the same thing. Each time I leave the apartment, I tell the cats where I'm going and when I'll be back. If I'm going to be gone all day, I put one of them in charge of the others.

I'm usually home until about 11:30 during the week, as I start work or school at 12:00p. David will usually get home before I do, so they're only home alone for less than 6 hours. I don't think they mind us leaving for work, its when we don't come home till later do they miss us.

On weekends and days like today (David's sick and I'm playing hookey from school to take care of him) I can tell the cats enjoy us at home. I know when David goes to take a nap, the kitties will enjoy someone to cuddle up with during their normal naptimes.
