Is it possible to care for a kitten while working full time?

Yes, I believe so. And in some ways, some people think that kittens or cats take less time than dogs or puppies. And I would agree with that to some degree. Again, depending on if they're indoor, indoor/outdoor, we don't necessarily walk our cats to use the bathroom. And so there's that house training aspect. It's a bit different. They use the litter box, but you do have to frequently invest in cleaning the litter box because we don't want to develop bad habits for our cats or kittens.

And then just remembering the time. Even though they may have lots of toys in the house and have been there all day, they're probably sleeping most of their day while you're at work. So when you get home, they're ready to play. Just make sure you set aside time, that one-on-one interaction so that you can bond with them and also get out some of that energy before you're ready to go to sleep.

It is. So I would say as long as what you consider full time isn't like 16 or 18 hours out of the day that you're going to be working or out of the house, I think it's a very doable and a great relationship. So many people work like an eight to five or an eight to six job. And I think that it’s just fine to have a kitten. They do spend quite a lot of the time sleeping, but then when you're home, you can interact with them and let them get their kitten energy out and have an excellent relationship.

It depends on the age of the kitten. Very young kittens, like the one shown in the video, need to be fed every two to three hours and would not be manageable for someone working full-time. However, if you have an older kitten (6 to 10 weeks of age), it may still be a challenge, but you could consider having a small enclosure or asking a neighbor to check on them at least once a day. Generally, cats are fairly self-sufficient and can be left alone for longer periods of time.

Yes, it is possible. You just need to make sure you have some set time in your schedule, maybe 20-30 minutes, to play with your kitten to help them expend some of their energy. Cats and kittens are very active creatures. They hunt, they eat, and then they sleep. If we don't satisfy their hunting and predator behavior, they might potentially wreak havoc in your house, your hands, and your feet. So, ensuring that you help them fulfill their playtime needs, ideally within a fifteen-minute timeframe, is highly recommended.
