I'm not sure if this is the right board to post this on, so if it needs to be moved please let me know. :-)
I am just curious if anyone else feels guilty for leaving their cats alone during the day or in the evening. If you've seen my posts about multiple cats not accepting our new cat. Turtle is isolated in the bedroom while her tail heals from an attack from one of the other kitties. This means I can either be in the bedroom with Turtle (two of the other cats are ok with her, so sometimes they come to keep her company) or I'm in the rest of the house with the other kitties. No matter where I am, I feel like I'm neglecting someone. Especially after a long day at work, or if I've been out with friends, and all I do is come home, feed everyone and go to bed.
I know my kitties have lots of toys to keep them occupied, each other, and they love to watch the wild rabbits in my backyard. But I still can't help feeling guilty that they spend so much time human-less. Does anyone else feel this way? Should I worry about them so much, or go easy on myself?
