Hi everyone! One of my friends recently gave me a kitten. I have become very attached to him but he hates when I leave to go to work or when I go to sleep (he is about 11 weeks old). I live in a small apartment and it is just me and the kitten. He has plenty of toys and is now house trained. The apartment is too small for me to get a second kitten.
I work a lot and he is usually left alone from 7:45 am to 5 p.m Monday - Friday. I usually go home at lunch to spend some time with him. I have already been concerned about him being left alone all the time. To make matters worse, I just got word that my partner at my job has quit. I am now going to have to spend even more time in the office to cover her workload until we hire somebody else. I will be leaving earlier for work, working through lunch and returning home even later. Several people have told me that I need to consider re homing him. My parents have offered to take him. My parents live in the country. They have a big house and lots of land. They also have more flexible schedules and can be around for the cat more. They are even willing to get a second kitten so that he has a friend.
Is it best to give the kitten to my parents with my current situation at work? I have gotten very attached but I am concerned I will not be able to give him the company he needs during my transition at work. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
