Do you think a cat would be content living in an office? There would be daily interaction with humans Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. until about 6:00 p.m. (sometimes later), and someone would come in Saturday and Sunday for feeding, litter-box maintenance and a few quick pets.
The cat would eat wet food during the work week and would get one wet meal on each day of the weekend with the rest being a high quality dry food.
The office isn't super busy but it's a leasing office for an apartment complex so there would be a good deal of foot traffic in and out. There's only one entrance door though so there's little danger of the cat escaping.
I'm asking because I'd like to start an "Office Cat" program on my properties. I'm thinking primarily senior cats but it would be up the property's manager. Ideally, I'd like to have two cats in each office so that they can entertain each other but I'm not sure I can sell the second cat to the management company. Food, litter, etc., would come out of the property's petty cash fund and I would expect them to balk at the extra expense for the second cat.
I'm just wondering if there are any psychological drawbacks for the cat(s) given the limited interaction. Then again, my own cats, Atticus; Thirteen and Bella Roma are alone for up to twelve hours a day while I'm at work.
Thoughts?
