Hello everyone...I've been lurking for quite a while now and you've all given me tons of info.Thank you! My husband and I are looking to purchase a blue burmese kitten since we just bought a bigger apartment. I'm a bit concerned because some people tell me it's damaging to the cat's personality if it's left home alone while we are at work (about 8 hours 5 days a week) I really don't want to do this if this is the case and I really can't have 2 cats in my 2 bedroom apartment. Please tell me what you think. I am torn!
