Hi everyone,
First of all let me just say that im loving this website. Im completely new to cats (ive been a dog-person all my 27 years) and this site has helped me a lot with my research and i have to say that the more i read.....the closer i am to becoming a full on cat-person.
So, the reason for my post....Im about to buy an apartment and would like to get a cat. Im a little stuck on the best breed to get though so i thought i'd invest in the help of forumers who no doubt know a heck of a lot more about cats than i do.
Basically, i really like the Burmese breed but im a little worried that i wont be able to spend enough time with it. I work full time which means Ill be out of the house at work for around 9 hours of every weekday. Im a little concerned because ive read that the Burmese cat might not respond too well to being left alone for that amount of time every day. Im home most nights and will be able to spend a lot of quality time with it when i get home from work and on weekends but i guess im just concerned that it might not be enough.
Does anyone else have any advice they can offer me? Should i go with a different breed? Am i freaking out over nothing
If anyone out there can help here I'd really appreciate it. I really would like to do what's best for my soon-to-be-pet so that we can enjoy a long and happy life together.
thanks everyone and im sorry for the long first post )
