How many Meowmies leave kitties alone during day?

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.

Amberlee and Kelly - you two are too cute!

My Dad is retired now so Nipo isn't home alone very often. Before he was retired he would come home for lunch during the week, so she has never stayed alone for a full working day. Man, those two are SO BONDED! It's adorable.

I work from home too, and today it was a good thing because a bird got into an open door and so we had a wild bird, in the house, a prime target for my two cats!!!! Thankfully, after many hours in the house, my daughter was able to help me get it out, safely. Whew!

I do have to travel periodically, and my pets have to stay at home, alone, then, but I have never worried about them. Cats are such independent creatures anyway, and they have 4 dogs to keep them company. I notice that they hang pretty close, especially Butter, when I am at home, though.

When Kiba lived with mom, mom worked A LOT during the summer..I mean up to 15+ hour shifts sometimes..so I stayed there so she wouldn't be alone..but once school started I couldn't stay there anymore so the kits were alone while mom worked (luckly not many of those long shifts..only fridays 10:30am-1-3am shift!!!) so that is why kiba is living with me now. I only have one 50 min class 3 days a week so she's not alone much. Mind you I do have to leave my room sometime so she's alone for short periods then..she usually sleeps though and is hyper at night when i want to sleep

I work 3-1130 and my 3 are left alone during that time.
Kloe being little stays in the bathroom so far, but Keegan and Kylie have the run of the house tho when I get home Keegan is usually in the kitchen right in front of the door or in the bedroom right in front of the door.

When I do land some temp work, I explain to Don Juan that I need to go to work so I can keep a roof over his head and food in his bowl.

He's always in his daytime sleep spot (the top of his climbing tower) when I get home, but he'll see me through the window and come meet me at the door.

Mine are all home alone from 6:00am until 5:15pm. They have gotten used to this and they sleep most of that time (I think). I wish with all my heart that I could be a stay at home kitty mom but if they want to eat it aint gonna happen!!

I work from home, but my boys have become my secretaries... getting in my way, ploping on the paperwork! Trust me, I learned that if I have a meeting plannedat my house, to let the other people know to expect a cat or two to be sitting in on the meeting too... and I mean in ON the meeting.

When I worked in an office all day, I used to leave telling the boys to "behave"- that was my little goodbye to them... I'd kiss them on their foreheads and say "you behave now while mommy's gone."

Now,that I am a geezer,and retired,the Cats,are with me,21 or 22 hours,a day,maybe a little more,if I have medical Appointments!

Thankfully - since we are now sorta "retired" I am a stay-home kitty mom. I love it!!! They do sleep most of the day though so I am not sure those of you who are gone all day are really missed too much Most of their playtime is in the evening anyway - late night being the very best

When I do go out for errands - I always tell them goodbye, put on the radio (they insist on country music ) and like several of you said - I put one in charge and tell them all to behave. I love to come home because there is always someone sleepy looking who will greet me at the door Usually Dylan.

That's what I keep telling Peanut when she gives me "the look" as I walk out the door every morning! And I know they both sleep all day because that's what they do on the weekends even though I'm there. T & P have always been "home alone" during the day until I moved in with Terry. Now there are some days where he works out of the house so they have some company, but he says they sleep all day too. They might move from one spot to another (for Tubby it depends on where the sun moves to), but for the most part they just sleep. Then again....they're old, so I'd be surprised if they did anything but sleep.

I Leave Mr. Loki at home from 7:30-5:15 pm every weekday. Every time we come home he's there to greet us right at the door with his sweet, purring, meowing little face
